Q. I'm doing a research project on Type 1 Diabetes (Juvenile Diabetes) and I need to know symptoms. One thing I need to write is how often "frequent urinaton" is. Like, once an hour, twice an hour, once every two hours, ect. Help, please! This is worth 75% of my overall Science grade.
A. I, myself, have type 1 diabetes, so I guess my answer comes more from a personal experience. Umm, frequent urination would be like around every two hours. Sometimes I would just go to the bathroom because I feel I need to go, but when I get to the toilet, I can't urinate or anything. Its just an urge sometimes. Other symptoms include thirst, hunger, severe weight loss, and blurred vision. I hope this helps(:
How long can you go with undiagnosed Type 1 diabetes? Stupid i know, but please help.?
Q. I have been having symptoms of diabetes (i am 14) but i don't know if it is diabetes or not. I am not sure how to tell my mom that i think i have diabetes, so i was thinking about waiting another week and seeing how i feel then. My symptoms have been going on about a week now.
SO my question is, how long can you go with undiagnosed type 1 diabetes and still be perfectly fine?

A. Type 2 can go unnoticed for quite some time. Type 2 makes insulin. Type 1 will kill you if it goes ignored too long. you can't process anything you ate without insulin. Since a type 1 doesn't make insulin, the person actually starves to death despite the fact that they're eating.
Feeling fine? Well, you wont really. You'll start with the thirst and urination, then it gets so frequent you'll think you're losing your mind. This is coupled by irritability. This crabbiness is from the get-go, so you never really feel fine. If/when it evolves into Ketoacidosis (this is where it gets really dangerous), symptoms to expand to include funky smelling breath and pores, unexplainable sleepiness, labored breathing and ultimately projectile vomiting.
Talk to your parents right away. Dont wait.

What is the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes symptoms?
Q. I know the difference between type 1 and 2, but is there a difference in the symptoms?
A. Difference between type 1 and type 2
What is Type 1 Diabetes?
Type 1 Diabetes is a disorder in which the body does not produce insulin (a hormone that aids in moving sugar from the blood to the cells). This type of diabetes can be due to a virus or autoimmune disorder in which the body does not recognize an organ as its own and attacks it. In this case the body attacks an organ known as the pancreas where insulin is made. This type of diabetes is usually diagnosed before age 40.
What is the treatment for Type 1 Diabetes?
Those with Type 1 Diabetes are required to take insulin injections to move sugar from the bloodstream.
What about Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 Diabetes occurs when insulin that the body produces is less efficient at moving sugar out of the bloodstream. Some sugar is moved out of the blood, just not as effectively compared to a person with normal insulin efficiency. High blood sugar is a result of this. Type 2 Diabetes used to be thought of as the adult onset type of diabetes. However, an alarming rate of children are now being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
How is Type 2 Diabetes Treated?
Diet, exercise, weight loss, and in many cases medication are the treatment for this type of diabetes. Occasionally, someone with Type 2 may be placed on insulin to better control blood sugar. This type of diabetes is associated with physical inactivity and obesity

What are the most common symptoms for Diabetes?
Q. My biological father has type 1 diabetes. I have been tested for it before but not recently. I eat like a pig and I can't gain any weight. I'm 25 years old and about 5'5" at 107 lbs. I have a lot of iron deficiency symptoms though too. LOW blood pressure, dizziness when standing, very poor circulation (cold, red hands and feet), etc. Is it likely to get this type of diabetes at my age or am I past that point?
A. You can get at any age.
Diabetes Type 1: Symtoms of type 2
In type 1, the pancreas stop producing insulin, due to autuimmune response or possibly viral attack on pancreas. In absence of insulin, body cells does not get glucose for producing ATP (Adenosin Triphosphate) units which results into primary symptom in the form of nausea and vomiting. In latter stage which leads to ketoacidosis in which body starts breaking down muscle tissue and fat for energy, there is consequently fast weight loss. Dehydration is also usually observed due to electrolyte disturbance. In advance stages even coma and death, are being witnessed.
Diabetes Type 2:
* Increased fatigue : Due to inefficiency of cell to metabolise glucose, reserve fat of body is metabolised to gain energy. When fat is broken down in the body, it uses more energy as compared to glucose, hence body goes in negative calorie effect, which results in fatigue.
* Polydipsia : As the concentration of glucose increases in the blood, brain receives signal for diluting it and in its counteraction we feel thirsty.
* Polyuria: Increase in urine production is the result seen when excess of glucose is present in body. Body tries to get rid of the extra sugar in the blood by excreting it through the urine. This can also lead to dehydration because excreting the sugar which carries a large amount of water out of the body along with it.
* Polyphegia : The hormone insulin is also responsible for stimulating hunger. In order to cope up with high sugar levels in blood, body produces insulin which leads to increased hunger.
* Weight flactuation : Factors like loss of water (polyuria), glucosuria , metabolism of body fat and protein may lead to loss of weight. Few cases may show weight gain due to increased appetite.
* Blurry vision : Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia nonketotic syndrome is the condition when body fluid is pulled out of tissues including lenses of eye, which affects the ability of lenses to focus resulting in blurry vision.
* Irritability : It is one of the sign of high blood sugar because of the inefficient supply of glucose to brain and other body organs, which makes us feel tired and uneasy.
* Infections : Certain signals from the body is given whenever there is fluctuation of blood sugar (due to suppression of immune system) by frequent infections of fungal or bacterial like skin infection or UTI (urinary tract infection).
* Poor wound healing : High blood sugar resists the flourishing of WBC, (white blood cell) which are responsible for body immune system. When these cells do not function accordingly, wound healing is not at good pace. Secondly, long standing diabetes leads to thickening of blood vessels which may affect proper circulation of blood in different body parts.
Good luck
