Lot of times diabetes goes undiagnosed as some symptoms of diabetes are so common and appears to be harmless that we don’t pay much attention to those. Research shows that if the symptoms can be detected on time and proper treatment can be done, it is possible to avoid the complications associated with diabetes.

Symptoms of diabetes can be sometimes similar but sometimes a little different for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. 

Type 1 Diabetes Symptoms:

• Extraordinary thirst
• Dried up mouth
• More than usual trips to bathroom
• Wright loss without even trying
• Fatigue or weakness
• Blurry vision

Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms:

• Blurry vision
• Sores cuts or which take a long time to heal
• Itching skin or yeast infections
• Extraordinary thirst
• Dried up mouth
• More than usual trips to bathroom
• Pain in the leg

As you can see, some signs of diabetes for Type 1 and Type 2 are common. If you experience one or more of these diabetes symptoms listed above, you should consult your doctor to be on safe side.
