- You develop frequent infections or have slow-healing wounds

- You notice changes in your urine, such as increased thirst, frequent urination, or dark-colored urine

In addition, it's important to schedule a doctor's visit if:

- You have any unusual symptoms that persist for more than a few weeks and affect your daily life
