Diabetes: The Symptoms You Might Be Ignoring | Doctor's Note | The Lift Off | Gagasi FM

With World Diabetes Day approaching, this "Doctor's Note" segment is a must-listen for everyone. Host Njabs Zwane is joined by General Practitioner Dr. Amanda Zondo to have an open conversation about diabetes, from the basics to the serious complications. Dr. Zondo breaks down the difference between Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational Diabetes, and explains the critical "pre-diabetic" stage where lifestyle changes can completely reverse the condition. Shockingly, statistics show that one in ten South Africans has diabetes, and half of them don't even know it. The discussion covers the common symptoms that many people dismiss, such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, recurrent infections, and slow-healing wounds. Dr. Zondo also answers listener questions about managing sugar cravings and the direct link between uncontrolled diabetes and sexual dysfunction in both men and women. This conversation is packed with life-saving information. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction 00:33 - What is Diabetes?
