Diabetes is a complex disease that can take more than one form. The two main types are Type I and Type II, and there is also another kind called gestational diabetes, which afflicts pregnant women. Type I diabetes is characterized by the pancreas not producing insulin, causing the need to have insulin injections to keep the blood sugar levels in the diabetic on an even keel. Type II diabetes is a little different. In Type II diabetes, the pancreas is producing insulin the body is just unable to process it or respond to it normally.

While the exact causes of diabetes are not clearly known, there are many symptoms to be on the lookout for. Studies have shown that early detection really makes a difference in how much a person can be affected by the disease, regardless of the type, so knowing and being able to recognize the symptoms is crucial. The symptoms of diabetes include unusual weight loss, frequent urination, irritability, dizziness, blurry vision, extreme hunger, excessive thirst, and increased fatigue.

These symptoms often go overlooked because they seem so harmless, so if you are experiencing one or more of them, it is important to consult your doctor or health care provider and find out now if you have this desease. Type I diabetes must often be treated with medication, but Type II diabetics can often be kept under control and managed with adjustments to diet and exercise. Gestational diabetes often resolves itself after the baby is born, but puts women at increased risk of developing Type II diabetes later in life. Early detection allows you to get a handle on your diabetes and start treating as soon as possible so you avoid any of the more serious complications that diabetes can inflict later on down the road.

Type 1 diabetes is a more aggressive form of diabetes than Type 2. In Type 1 diabetes the sufferer is incapable of producing insulin altogether, and as a result will have more problems than a Type 2 sufferer who either produces less insulin or is incapable of absorbing insulin correctly. In the case of Type 2 diabetes the sufferer will often go weeks, months and even years without being aware that he or she has it; with Type 2 the symptoms will often require attention within a period of 2 weeks, at which point they will usually be identified as Type 1 diabetes conditions.

Increased Thirst

Someone who is suffering from diabetes, and especially someone who is not aware of it, will feel that they are unnaturally thirsty. Should you feel that you have a dry mouth and a constant need to consume liquids, especially drinks which are not fizzy; then this is an indication that you have Type 1 diabetes. Although this is an indication, it is worthy of note, that that is all it is. There are many other perfectly good reasons why someone could feel like this, and only when this is something you are suffering from at the same time as other symptoms should you be overly concerned. This should not put you off consulting a medical professional.

Needing To Urinate a lot

If you need to pass water a lot then this could be an indicator that you have Type 1 diabetes. There are certain things that should be taken into account here. For instance, if you are drinking more, which is also a sign of diabetes; then it is only natural that you will need to urinate more. However, if you need to urinate at night more so than you feel is needed for the amount you are drinking, then this could be a concern. Because this and the first symptom are inherently linked, you should consider looking for another symptom.

Tiredness

If you are feeling increasingly tired and fatigued then this could be as a result of Type 1 diabetes. Tiredness and fatigue are one of the main outcomes of depleted insulin, but again this symptom can sometimes be considered to be inherently linked to thirst, which can in turn lead to an increased propensity to urinate. Despite that, continued fatigue and tiredness should always be something that makes you want to visit a medical professional for their advice.

General Itching

If you feel itchy, this could be caused by Type 1 diabetes. Again, this is a symptom which is very common as a result of other problems that your body can suffer from time to time. Like continued tiredness, itching as a long term problem, is certainly something which you should visit a medical professional regarding.

If you feel a number of symptoms mentioned above then you should not hold back in visiting a medical professional for their advice and opinion. It is best to be safe than sorry.
