The End of Diabetes: The Eat to Live Plan to Prevent and Reverse Diabetes

In the majority of cases there will be warning signs and symptoms that something is
wrong and that you require a check-up at the doctor. There are similar warning signs that
overlap with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. But there are also symptoms that are specific to
each type of the disease.

Symptoms for type 1 diabetes can include:

* An increased thirst that is not satisfied after drinking extra fluids
* A repeating need to urinate (more than normal)
* A dry or fuzzy feeling inside the mouth
* Unexplained and sudden weight loss
* Feeling light-headed, weak or dizzy
* Sight disorders such as blurry vision

Symptoms for type 2 diabetes can include:

* Sharp or numbing pain in the legs
* Cuts or bruises that take a long time to heal
* Recurrent yeast infections
* Sight disorders such as blurry vision
* An increased thirst that is not satisfied after drinking extra fluids
* A frequent require to urinate (more than usual)

Many of these symptoms do not always mean diabetes is the issue they can also be
indicative of other medical problems. It is a good idea to seek medical attention if any of
these signs show up. Symptoms for type 1 diabetes usually come on extremely rapidly
whereas symptoms for type 2 diabetes may develop gradually over time.

In young children who are experiencing any of the symptoms it may be hard to tell if they
are just having a bad day or are really sick. Keep a close on them, especially if they are
younger and may not be able to articulate how they are feeling very well. It is better to
err on the side of caution and book a doctor’s appointment if there are any concerns that
you might have.
