Home | Health & Fitness | Diabetes Thirst: Excessive thirst is a common symptom of type 1 diabetes. High sugar levels cause dilution of the blood. The body then attempts to reverse this by telling the brain to dilute the blood, which translates into thirst. The body encourages more water consumption to dilute the blood sugar back to acceptable levels and to make up for the water lost by excessive urination. Excessive urination: The body tries to rid itself of excess sugar by way of the urine which encourages more urination. This often results in dehydration. Besides diabetes, several other health problems share this symptom so be sure to have it checked out. Excessive eating: Without adequate insulin to move sugar into your cells, your muscle and organ tissue become starved of energy. This creates excessive hunger that may continue even after you consume a full meal. Lacking insulin, the sugar in your food never reaches these tissues. Weight loss: Even though you are eating more than usual, you actually lose weight, sometimes rapidly. Without the energy created by sugar, your muscles and fat stores may shrink. Fatigue is a common type 1 diabetes symptom. You may become tired, irritable, even angry because your cells aren't getting enough sugar. Your vision may become blurry if you have excessive blood sugar. The lenses of your eyes can become deprived of fluid and focusing becomes difficult. Nausea and vomiting. A frequent type 1 diabetes symptom caused by high blood sugar. Type I Diabetes, (formerly called insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes) needs to be taken seriously, and treatment if needed should be started promptly. Be sure to consult your doctor if you're concerned about diabetes or if you notice any type 1 diabetes symptoms. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
