Early Symptoms Diabetes
Warning signs & what to look for

The early symptoms of diabetes totally depend of course on which type you have. Here we'll focus on the early symptoms of diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2 and gestational diabetes, because they are the most common types

Be alert

In the early stages there are just a few diabetes symptoms, or they look like symptoms of other health conditions. This may turn your attention in a different direction but always be aware of this possibility

You also have to be very aware that in the beginning a lot of people with type 2 diabetes have no type 2 diabetes symptoms yet. In time they will get symptoms of some of the complications of diabetes like kidney and foot problems


Early symptoms diabetes, type 1 & 2 differences

The Symptoms of juvenile diabetes or type 1 diabetes are basically very similar to adult diabetes or type 2 diabetes. The difference is that the development of type 2 diabetes symptoms is normally slow and can take many years

But symptoms of type 1 diabetes progress fast over weeks or months. Sometimes it can go so fast that a child will get medical treatment only after an emergency situation has occurred like a coma. we don't want you to get into a panic immediately, this is just an extreme example of what might happen. But you should be aware of the possibility

What is normal and what is a high blood sugar level?

For those who are already checking their blood sugar levels, there are no clear cut criteria but the next are considered as general guidelines. One way to test it is by a fasting glucose test, where you're not allowed to eat and drink 8 hours before the test. The results here are for a random glucose test, that is without fasting

•Very high blood sugar:over 350 mg/dlRelax, drink a lot of water, take medication if necessary, and if it doesn't lower contact your doctor or health care team
•High blood sugar:200–350 mg/dlSuggests type 1 or type 2 diabetes
•Elevated blood sugar:140–200 mg/dlMight suggest prediabetes
