Loading ...Type 1 Diabetes Symptoms
TYPE 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults.It was previously known as juvenile diabetes. This type of diabetes is characterized by the loss of the insulin-producing pancreatic islets of langerhans which results in deficiency of the hormone insulin.In the type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life.
Symptoms of type 1 diabetes include:
- Frequent urination (in children, a recurrence of bed-wetting after toilet training has been completed)
- Unusual thirst, especially for sweet, cold drinks
- Extreme hunger
- Sudden, sometimes dramatic, weight loss
- Weakness
- Extreme fatigue
- Blurred vision or other changes in eyesight
- Irritability
- Nausea and vomiting (acute symptoms)
