Type 1 diabetes symptoms may not seem worth worrying about at first. They can also come on suddenly and very severely. They usually appear and advance quickly over a period of a few weeks or months, and as a result they are quickly diagnosed. Some of the more common type 1 diabetes symptoms include:
Excessive thirst is a common symptom of type 1 diabetes. This can occur because the patient is experiencing frequent urination (another common symptom) which in turn causes dehydration.
Frequent urination, while a symptom of type 1 is also a sign of many other medical conditions such as urinary tract, bladder, and prostate conditions to name a few.
Extreme hunger. Hunger that is not satisfied even after consuming a large meal because, without insulin, the glucose produced from carbohydrates in your food never reaches your body's energy-starved tissues.
Weight loss, sometimes rapid weight loss, is common in spite of eating more than you normally do. This is because the body breaks down muscle and stored fat while trying to send fuel to the hungry cells.
Fatigue is a common type 1 diabetes symptom. You may become tired, irritable, even angry because your cells aren't getting enough sugar.
Your vision may become blurry if you have excessive blood sugar. The lenses of your eyes can become deprived of fluid and focusing becomes difficult.
Nausea and vomiting. A frequent type 1 diabetes symptom caused by high blood sugar.
Type I Diabetes, (formerly called insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes) needs to be taken seriously, and treatment if needed should be started promptly. Be sure to consult your doctor if you're concerned about diabetes or if you notice any type 1 diabetes symptoms.
