How Do I Know If I Have Diabetes? – Diabetes Types & Symptoms

Diabetes Posted by Mia Garnsey

Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes

    1. Weight Loss: If your body can’t get energy from your food, it’s going to start consuming muscle and fat for energy instead. Even if you haven’t changed your eating habit, you may find yourself loosing weight.
    2. Nausea and vomiting. When the body burns fat, it makes ketones. They can build up to unsafe levels in the blood and probably into a life-threatening condition called diabetic ketoacidosis. Ketones make people feel sick in the stomach.

Conclusion

Identifying early symptoms of type 2 diabetes will make it easier for a person to get a diagnosis and treatment earlier. Appropriate medication, lifestyle changes, and the regulation of blood sugar levels can significantly improve the health and quality of life of an individual and reduce the risk of complications.

Without medication, persistently elevated blood sugar levels can lead to serious and even life-threatening complications.
