Uncontrolled DM: It is not just how you feel is it what the serum markers show. HgbA1c> 7.0, represents uncontrolled diabetes. Some may feel ok but will eventually progress, others may have retinopathy, neuropathy, erectile dysfunction, dizziness, confusion,cardiac dx, and episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis or hyper non ketotic osmolar state. To minimize complications work w/ your MD to control diabetes near norma
