In Type 1 diabetes, the symptoms can often come on suddenly and dramatically. It mostly shows up in childhood or early teens often after an illness, virus or injury. The extra stress can cause diabetic ketoacidosis. Without treatment, ketoacidosis can lead to coma and death.

Symptoms of Type 2 diabetes are often not obvious and you may think they are due to aging or obesity. It's possible to have Diabetes 2 for many years without being aware that you have it. Steroids and stress can be big factors in the onset of Diabetes 2. It's important to take this illness seriously; it can lead to unpleasant outcomes like blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, and nerve damage.

Here are some common symptoms of diabetes 1 and diabetes 2

Excessive and Unusual Tiredness:

When you contract diabetes the body is mostly unable to use glucose for fuel. It begins instead to metabolize fat to get the extra fuel it needs. This process is not very efficient. You have less energy than before and you feel tired.

Weight Loss You Just Can't Explain:

Because you can't metabolize sugar, much of the fuel in your food is excreted in your urine via the kidneys. You may find yourself eating way more food than normal and still losing weight. You become dehydrated and lose even more weight.

Excessive thirst:

The high concentration of sugar in your bloodstream overcomes your normal kidney function. Instead of being re-absorbed for future use the sugar is passed out in your urine. The brain senses a need to dilute the blood and you experience this as thirst. As a result you find yourself drinking more water as the body tries to correct this sugar imbalance.

Increased Urination:

The body tries to excrete the excess sugar via the kidneys. As a result you pass more water and feel thirsty.

Overeating:

The body will try to increase its levels of insulin production to reduce the excess blood sugar. Insulin is the key that opens the muscles and lean tissue to receive the sugar. But in Type 2 Diabetes you become insulin resistant. Your muscles refuse to take up the sugar.

One of the other jobs of insulin is to make you hungry... it isn't possible for you to absorb this extra insulin so your forced to eat more.

Wounds Refuse to Heal:

If your blood sugar levels are high then your white blood cells are not able to do their respected job. As a result to this your wounds heal slower than normal and your more susceptible to infection.

Thickening of the Arteries

SEELOW, BRANDENBURG - AUGUST 08: Country doctor Dieter Baermann measures the blood sugar level of an elderly patient in the patient's home on August 8, 2011 in Sachsendorf near Seelow, Germany. Baermann works in the state of Brandenburg in eastern Germany, a region that is struggling with a shortage of doctors in rural areas. Critics charge that current laws actually discourage doctors from taking up posts in rural areas, and the German government is debating a new law intended to reverse the trend. Many doctors across Germany complain about a legal system that they claim burdens them with too many costs and hampers their ability to provide the best care.

You may very well find yourself incapable of concentrating, irritated, or agitated- all are symptoms of very high blood sugar levels
