What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a medical condition that interferes with the body's ability to regulate normal blood glucose (sugar) levels. In the absence of professional medical care, diabetes can increase the risk of other health concerns, including heart disease, kidney problems, vision difficulties, and nerve damage. At North Dallas Primary Care Doctors, our board-certified primary care physician and pediatrician offer years of experience in diagnosing and helping patients manage type 1 (insulin-dependent) and type 2 diabetes. If you have been diagnosed with diabetes or believe the condition may be affecting your health, please contact Dr. Suchitra Kamineni or Dr. Arun Amaram at our Frisco, TX primary care practice to schedule a diabetes screening or to review your treatment options.
How Is Diabetes Treated?
As a chronic condition, diabetes must be well-managed as high glucose levels, over time, can damage organs and other tissues. A number of factors can elevate the risk of diabetes, such as familial history, obesity, high blood pressure, and poor nutrition. Some of the most common symptoms of diabetes include high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), frequent urination, and excessive thirst. However, many patients with diabetes have no symptoms, making it essential to undergo regular screenings. Diabetes is treated based on individual needs, which may entail regulating blood glucose through insulin, oral medications, diet, or exercise.
What Are the Symptoms of Diabetes?
The specific diabetes symptoms you experience may vary based on whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If you notice any of the following symptoms, you should reach out to our practice to schedule a blood test for diabetes:
- Frequent urination
- Increased appetite
- Chronic fatigue
- Dry skin
- Slow-healing wounds
- Blurry vision
- Increased thirst

I was impressed with his care and interest in my granddaughter’s care. We took her to see him for the flu and it was her first visit. He took time to understand her health history.
