Symptoms can be easy to explain away. Testing is more useful than guessing.

Three practical points

  1. Tell a clinician about increased thirst, frequent urination, unusual tiredness or unexplained weight loss.
  2. Record when the changes began and any family history you know.
  3. Ask what test is appropriate and how you will receive and discuss the result.

In the Philippines, contact your usual health center, pharmacist or appropriate clinician for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
