What are the symptoms of Type 1 diabetes? I can’t got to the doctor for a little bit (hard to explain) so I was wondering if there are noticeable symptoms

..you’d really know, you’d be hospitalized within 2-3 days..and the testing sucks
you keep going to the loo, feel tired now and then.I am diabetic type 1 and at first I thought I was pregnant with all the wee wee… So anyway, just go to your GP for tests it’s the only way to find out for sure.Good luck.
Classic symptoms are thirst and frequent *********. Drinking lots and lots of liquids and doing lots and lots of ******. Also may have weight loss (unintentional). Type 1 can come on somewhat slowly, with the body producing less and less insulin over a period of a few weeks, but at some point you can face little things like coma and death if it goes untreated.
If you really, really cant go to the doctor try to find someone with a blood glucose meter or get one yourself (they are often free – check the ads) and just check your blood glucose yourself.
Either type 1 or type 2 have much the same symptoms.
The early symptoms of untreated diabetes are related to elevated blood sugar levels, and loss of glucose in the urine. High amounts of glucose in the urine can cause increased urine output and lead to dehydration. Dehydration causes increased thirst and water consumption.
Some untreated diabetes patients also complain of fatigue, nausea and vomiting.
Type 2 usually is associated with an onset later in life and type 1 earlier. I was 64 before I managed to acquire type 2.
Dehydration that causes a desire for water is the sign I noticed, Just never seem to get enough.
If you have a friend or relative who has diabetes ask them to check your blood sugar for you on their machine.
It is nothing to play around with, if your sugar is High OR Low (hypoglycemia) get going on it. It can kill you.
you should really go in if you feel like you have symptoms, in the meantime drink lots and lots of water nothing else but water, i know it will make you have to *** more if you do feel like you are diabetic but it will stop you from building up ketones in your bloodstream, i couldnt make it to the doc immediately after symptoms came on and when i did my blood sugars were an awful 870 and i had absolutely no ketones which is not normal, the doc said i should of been in a coma but was saved because i was literally carrying gallons of water around with me to drink.
