     "Lot of the indications of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are the same. In both, there is excessive glucose in the blood and less sufficient in the cells of body. The level of high glucose in Type 1 are due to the deficiency of insulin because the insulin making cells have been destroyed. Type 2 diabetes happens when the body's cells evolve into opposing to insulin being generated. Either way, your cells aren’t having the glucose that they require, or your body permits you understand by giving you these indications and signs.

    • Frequent trips to the bathroom

    • Unquenchable Thirst

    • Losing Weight without Trying

    • Weakness and Fatigue

    • Tingling or Numbness in Your Hands, Legs or Feet"

    Many of the diabetic complications can be prevented by good blood glucose and blood pressure control. Some of the studies have shown that strict control of blood sugar, cholesterol, and the blood pressure level in a person with diabetes can help in reducing the risk of kidney disease, eye disease, nervous system disease, heart attack and stroke.

    Some of the emergency complications of this disease include:

    Diabetic Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma

    Diabetic Ketoacidosis

    Similarly the long term complications include:

    Atherosclerosis

    Coronary artery disease

    Diabetic Nephropathy

    Diabetic Neuropathy

    Erection Problems

    Hypertension

    Infections of skin

    Stoke

    Diabetes is a result of high levels of glucose, that include

    Blurry Vision

    Excessive Thirst

    Fatigue

    Frequent Urination

    Hunger

    Weightloss

    The type 1 diabetes develops slowly, as a result some people with high blood sugar might have no symptoms at all.

    Some of the symptoms of type 1 diabetes are:

    Fatigue

    Increased Thirst

    Increased Urination

    Nausea

    Vomiting

    Weight loss in spite of increased appetite

    The other type of diabetes is known as type 1 diabetes which usually develops symptoms in a very short period of time. This condition is termed as emergency setting.

    Symptoms of type 1 diabetes are:

    Blurred vision

    Fatigue Increased Appetite

    Increased Thirst

    Increased Urination

    Exercise with proper diet should be taken into consideration in order to prevent diabetes.

    Diabetes is disease in which a person has high blood sugar levels, as the body doesn’t produce enough insulin to synthesize the glucose into energy.

    There are mainly three types, namely the Type I,  Type II and gestational diabetes mellitus.


    The major symptoms for diabetes may include increased thirst, urination, blurred vision and fatigue.


    In this condition the food gets digested and the glucose makes its way into our bloodstream. The body cells use this glucose for energy and growth. However, glucose cannot enter our cells without insulin being present - insulin makes it possible for our cells to take in the glucose.


    Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. After food is consumed, the pancreas automatically releases an adequate quantity of insulin to move the glucose present in our blood into the cells and lowers the blood sugar level.


    A person with diabetes has a condition in which the quantity of glucose in the blood is too elevated (hyperglycemia). This is because, either the body does not produce enough insulin, or has cells that do not respond properly to the insulin the pancreas produces. This results in too much glucose building up in the blood. This excess blood glucose eventually will pass out of the body in urine. So, even though the blood has plenty of glucose, the cells are not getting it for their essential energy and growth requirements.
