Diabetes Type 1 Symptoms-Signs

The subsequent lack of insulin leads to increased blood and urine glucose that makes diabetes type 1 lethal if left untreated, Over time, high blood glucose can lead to serious problems with your heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and gums and teeth. Most people who develop diabetes type 1 are exceptionally healthy. Although the cause of type 1 diabetes is still not fully understood it is believed to be of immunological origin.

Type 1 diabetes takes only a few weeks to develop. The initial symptoms are:

• Frequent urination (polyuria).
  It’s all because the body tries to get rid of the excess glucose in the urine, diluting it with water
• Often feels thirsty (polydipsia)
• Fatigue
  Deficiency of glucose in body cells and cannot being converted into energy
• Increased appetite and hunger (polyphagia).
  Without enough insulin to move sugar into your cells, your muscles and organs become depleted of energy. This triggers intense hunger that may persist even after you eat. Without insulin, the sugar in your food never reaches your energy-starved tissues.
• Weight loss.
  Despite eating more than usual to relieve hunger, you may lose weight. Without the energy sugar supplies, your muscle tissues and fat stores may simply shrink.
• Feeling sick,
• Blurred vision.
  If your blood sugar level is too high, fluid may be pulled from your tissues — including the lenses of your eyes. This may affect your ability to focus clearly.
• Infections
  Such as thrush or irritation of the genitals.

Diabetes type 1 also called: Insulin-dependent diabetes, Juvenile diabetes. A blood test can show if you have diabetes. If you do, you will need to take insulin for the rest of your life.
