Type 1 diabetes is a more aggressive form of diabetes than Type 2. In Type 1 diabetes the sufferer is incapable of producing insulin altogether, and as a result will have more problems than a Type 2 sufferer who either produces less insulin or is incapable of absorbing insulin correctly. In the case of Type 2 diabetes the sufferer will often go weeks, months and even years without being aware that he or she has it; with Type 2 the symptoms will often require attention within a period of 2 weeks, at which point they will usually be identified as Type 1 diabetes conditions.

Increased Thirst

Someone who is suffering from diabetes, and especially someone who is not aware of it, will feel that they are unnaturally thirsty. Should you feel that you have a dry mouth and a constant need to consume liquids, especially drinks which are not fizzy; then this is an indication that you have Type 1 diabetes. Although this is an indication, it is worthy of note, that that is all it is. There are many other perfectly good reasons why someone could feel like this, and only when this is something you are suffering from at the same time as other symptoms should you be overly concerned. This should not put you off consulting a medical professional.

Needing To Urinate a lot

If you need to pass water a lot then this could be an indicator that you have Type 1 diabetes. There are certain things that should be taken into account here. For instance, if you are drinking more, which is also a sign of diabetes; then it is only natural that you will need to urinate more. However, if you need to urinate at night more so than you feel is needed for the amount you are drinking, then this could be a concern. Because this and the first symptom are inherently linked, you should consider looking for another symptom.

Tiredness

If you are feeling increasingly tired and fatigued then this could be as a result of Type 1 diabetes. Tiredness and fatigue are one of the main outcomes of depleted insulin, but again this symptom can sometimes be considered to be inherently linked to thirst, which can in turn lead to an increased propensity to urinate. Despite that, continued fatigue and tiredness should always be something that makes you want to visit a medical professional for their advice.

General Itching

If you feel itchy, this could be caused by Type 1 diabetes. Again, this is a symptom which is very common as a result of other problems that your body can suffer from time to time. Like continued tiredness, itching as a long term problem, is certainly something which you should visit a medical professional regarding.

If you feel a number of symptoms mentioned above then you should not hold back in visiting a medical professional for their advice and opinion. It is best to be safe than sorry.
