Symptoms of type 1 diabetes

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes often come on suddenly and are severely dramatic. The extra stress of diabetes can lead to something called diabetic ketoacidosis. Symptoms of

ketoacidosis may include nausea and vomiting, which may also lead to dehydration and serious problems with the blood levels

of potassium. This could lead to a diabetic coma and

ultimately death.

There are certain symptoms that shouldn't be ignored if

they develop. These symptoms could lead to blindness,

amputation of limbs, coma or even death.

Symptoms of diabetes mellitus include increased urine

production, excessive thirst, extreme fatigue, and

excessive thirst and weight loss. These symptoms though may

not be present in those people with only mildly elevated

sugar levels.
