Problems and Symptoms in Different Types of Diabetes
There are three different types of diabetes and each category
has its own problems and symptoms that are specific to it. The
first of these types of diabetes is Type 1, also known as
"insulin dependent". This type of diabetes is called Juvenile
diabetes because it manifests anytime in the first 30 years of
someone's life. This type of diabetes needs to be controlled
with the use of insulin, which must be given one or more times
each day. Someone that has been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes
will have to maintain a strict diet of what they eat and they'll
have to monitor their blood levels several times each day so
that they know exactly where their blood sugar level is at. If
these blood sugar levels aren't carefully monitored and managed
kidney damage can occur. Symptoms of Type 1 diabetes include
thirst, an increase in urination, urine that seems to have a
dark color to it, vision that is blurred, tingling in the feet
and hands, and sudden loss of weight.
The second kind of diabetes is Type 2, also known as
"non-insulin" diabetes. This type of diabetes will usually occur
in the later years of
someone's life. The cause is often poor
health and poor nutrition. In most cases this type of diabetes
doesn't require the use of insulin. The most important way to
manage Type 2 diabetes is with a proper diet and exercise. It is
vital that person's with Type 2 are under the care of a doctor
who can help them to manage their health. Symptoms of Type 2 are
thirst, an increase in urination, burred vision, stomach cramps,
and sores that don't heal properly.
The third type of diabetes is Gestational diabetes, which occurs
during pregnancy. The mother to be will feel very tired, have
frequent headaches, and experience dizziness. This type of
diabetes will usually go away after the baby has been delivered
but the mother will still require careful monitoring. If you are
experiencing any of the above symptoms and conditions be sure to
consult with your doctor.
