Type 2 diabetes mellitus is common among older adults and is
associated with numerous co-morbidities. A myriad of
complications is associated with diabetes; some of these
complications can be monitored by recognition and response
to the common symptoms of the disease. Both acute and
chronic symptoms may be experienced by patients, including
the classic symptoms of thirst, hunger, and frequent urination, as well as other common symptoms, including visual
blurring, numbness and tingling in the extremities, calf pain
on walking, and fatigue [1,2]. Monitoring discomfort and
frequency of symptoms related to diabetes is one way that
patients can report their experiences with diabetes and
glucose regulation [3]. Understanding and communicating
diabetes symptoms can contribute to a patient’s success
related to performing self-management tasks, such as physical activity, glucose self-monitoring, and diet [4,5].
