The disappearance of diabetes symptoms is not necessarily a good thing

Ms. Qiu's mother was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, and her family has always paid attention to her care. What surprised her family was that her mother's diabetes symptoms had almost disappeared recently, with only some loss of appetite and fear of cold. The family was very happy, but Ms. Qiu was always worried. It was almost impossible to completely cure diabetes, so how could she get better all of a sudden? This was too magical!

During the weekend, Ms. Qiu went to the hospital and consulted the endocrinologist. The doctor's words made her feel depressed: "The sudden disappearance of diabetes symptoms may not be a good thing. Some diseases may also cause endocrine dysfunction." She hurriedly took her mother to the hospital for examination, and it turned out to be a pituitary tumor! It turned out that when a tumor occurs in the pituitary gland, the anterior lobe tissue is damaged, the endocrine function is damaged, and eventually the secretion of adrenal cortex hormones, thyroid hormones and growth hormones is reduced, and the blood sugar level drops accordingly, which also causes the mother's diabetes symptoms to disappear.

Doctors say that patients with pituitary tumors are more sensitive to insulin, and are prone to low and unstable blood sugar levels, or even severe hypoglycemia. They may also experience chills, dry and falling hair, loss of appetite, loss of libido, irregular menstruation or even amenorrhea, low blood pressure, and other symptoms of adrenal cortex, thyroid, and gonadal dysfunction. They should see a doctor as soon as possible to eliminate suspicion.
