The two different types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body’s pancreas fails to make enough insulin to move sugar from the blood into other cells to create energy. Type 2, also known as adult-onset diabetes, can result from obesity and a poor diet. The symptoms of both are often the same:
- Frequent urination.
- Overwhelming thirst.
- Weight loss. This is a more frequent symptom of Type 1 diabetes.
- Fatigue and weakness.
- Tingling in the extremities, frequently felt in the hands, legs or feet.
- Blurred vision.
- Unusually long healing periods for infections and cuts.
If you feel you may be experiencing some of the symptoms of diabetes, consult your doctor.
