Symptoms of type 1 Diabetes
The initial symptoms of diabetes include:
- weight loss excessive
- passing of urine
- constant thirst
- tiredness
- blurred vision
- itchy skin around your genitals or regular infections, such as thrush
The symptoms can develop quickly – usually over a few weeks. In particular, marked weight loss, often over a short period of two to eight weeks is the main distinguishing symptom between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The other symptoms listed above can occur in either type.
