Regardless of the type of diabetes, the symptoms are the same. They are often more insidious in the case of type 2 diabetes.
* Elimination of excessive urine (it is common to get up at night to go urinate)
* Increased thirst and hunger
* Weight loss
* A weakness and excessive fatigue
* Blurred vision
* An increase in the occurrence and recurrence of infections of the skin, gums, bladder, ***** or the foreskin
* A slowdown in the healing process
* Numbness or tingling in hands and feet
Note. Untreated diabetes causes severe symptoms it is important to recognize.
They started in me and progressed to a critical point with me in the ICU within 6 months. The symptoms were very obvious to someone who knew what to look for and able to interpret what they were seeing – such as my primary care doctor who somehow overlooked them in me!
