Do i have diabetes?
Hi doctor, I am facing some issues. Sometimes after waking from bed, my eyes will be sunken. Also sometimes I feel to drink more water. If I am taking lot of water, I am looking completely normal. Also stomach problems will be there if I am having these symptoms. Do I need to check for diabetes or to consult a gastro ?
