A member asked:
Many family members with diabetes. my a1c 5.7. i have been losing weight, now urinating excessively and thirsty. should i seek urgent care?

I wouldn't: You need urgent care only if you are dehydrated and can't keep food down. Otherwise, go see your regular doctor for a check up. It might not be the sugar causing your current symptoms.
