The worst symptoms of diabetes are the ones you ignore. One of the most common and easily identified symptoms is frequent urination. All day and all night every day. This is one of the easiest to recognize and earliest to happen. That is when you want to pay attention and seek help. Early. Extreme and constant thirst is in the same group and is usually present with frequent urination. There are a lot more symptoms. Especially if you ignore these early ones and let the disease progress. Then you will begin to experience numbness or tingling in your toes and fingers. More blurred vision. Lack of energy. Dizziness. They keep getting worse as you ignore it. Even if you are not sure but have any of these symptoms get help now. By the time you get to the WORST symptoms they have become complications.

There are several symptoms which I don't enjoy, when you're first diagnosed it's the major weight loss, the constant thirst and in turn need to urinate, then as time goes on there hypoglycaemic which could be confusion, sluggish, feeling weak, cold sweats. Then there's hyperglycaemic which could also be confusion, black outs, dry throat and mouth, and the ketones if left too long which makes your breath smell like pear drops.

I hate the taste of high bloodsugar, it makes me feel even sicker along with the need for water and the urgent needs to urinate. If I could get rid of a symptom, I'd get rid of the lethargy that comes with highs. I'm "okay" with drinking water all the time, but it does get annoying.

Some of the symptoms for me that are most limiting to the life of having Diabetes type 1 are, going on diabetic lows, and getting diabetic highs. When I go on a Diabetic low, It can be a minor one where I can still do the things that I need to while eating some sugar. They can also be major lows where I start to sweat, so much so, that I look sometimes like I have just taken a shower. I usually feel really terrible and tired. I can also start speaking gibberish to people and can struggle to even draw or cut out a triangle.(Real experience in my algebra math class in middle school.) This can be dangerous especially when I am doing things like trying to get sugar for a low and can't find my sugar, even when it is sitting right where I am looking! If I could get rid of the symptoms of a major diabetic low, I would. When I go on a Diabetic high, It can also be a minor one where I give myself insulin and I don't really feel any big symptoms. If it is a major diabetic high, then I can feel sluggish or nauseated. I also feel extra thirsty and will (no joke) have to pee every 3-5 minutes. It can really limit me when this happens because when I am sluggish, I struggle with simple things at my job like teaching math concepts.

Thirsty all the time, like you can't get enough fluid. Dizziness, sweating, shakiness, if sugar drops.

For context, I have type one diabetes. The symptoms that got me diagnosed were sudden weight loss, extreme thirst (my mom would have to cut me off because I would just keep asking for more water), and constantly going to the bathroom. Now, my symptoms have to do with blood sugar. When it's high, I feel jittery, thirsty, always need to use the bathroom, have no appetite, and can't sleep. When I'm low, my body shakes and feels weak, I feel extremely hungry, I get brain fog, and I feel tired. If my blood sugar drops quickly, I feel nauseated.

The symptoms of diabetes very depending on whether one has juvenile onset, T1, or autoimmune diabetes where the pancreas has destroyed itself due to virally-mediated self-destruction. The immune system becomes hyperactive and typically destroys the pancreas's ability to produce insulin the beta cells produce insulin. And, the beta cells are the first to go… The beta cells are located in the islets of Langerhans... diabetes will progress over one's lifetime. Type one diabetes is a chronic disease. The only way to handle living with a disease is to take insulin. There is no simple diet. There's nothing simple about this condition… It is my strong belief that this is the worst condition in all of humanity right now… I believe this for the main reason that this disease is never ending. It is a 24 seven disease, where in one must check blood glucose levels religiously. disease is also just dropped with the wash of cultural reference points… It's not just a food disease… Most people are simply concerned about carbs and sugars… For the conscious diabetic, all things including proteins and fats must be counted up… One takes 1/3 of the fat grams and 1/2 of the protein grams to add up the complete net carbs at every meal… On top of this, many children do not come into the grips of finding the benefits of taking care of this adamant disease that is always at attention until they're much older… This leaves a Wishingwell… Denial… For most of the teenage years! Note: most children get this disease [are diagnosed with T1D] at the onset of puberty/ adolescence [This occurs just when the thymus reaches its quintessential peak of largess… From that time on the thymus gets smaller and smaller until it becomes most vestigial in adulthood. I am not aware of research. However, what I mean by this is that when I was diagnosed with T1G back in 1989, I had doctors and residents at my bedside who were interested in taking a peek at my history… At that time, case histories where the norm and,[Much like Oliver Saks would dictate years later before his death…"The case study is essential the advancement of modern medicine."
