Whether it’s type 1 or type 2 diabetes both showcase signs similar to that of high blood sugar. This is primarily due to less or no insulin present in the body. Diabetes symptoms advance in accordance with the range and duration of high blood sugar levels.

The symptoms usually start mildly with poorly healing skin rashes, and eventually progresses to severe stages, characterized by excessive carving for thirst and frequent urination. Finally it leads to life threatening ailments like HHNS or DKA. Let’s have a look at the common symptoms of high sugar level.

Diabetes Type 1:

In this type the pancreas stops manufacturing insulin due to auto-immune response or possibly viral attack on them. If insulin is absent, the body cells don’t get the required glucose for producing Adenosine Tri phosphate (ATP) units, which results into primary symptoms like nausea and vomiting. When it advances to later stages, it leads to ‘ketoacidosis’. The body starts breaking down the muscle tissue and fat for producing energy which results in tremendous weight loss. Dehydration is usually observed due to electrolyte disorder. In worst case scenario, death is anticipated.

Diabetes Type 2:

Fatigue: Due to incapability of the cell to metabolize glucose, preserved fat of the body is metabolized to produce energy. When fat is broken down, more energy is used in comparison to sugar, due to which we find ourselves into negative calorie region, which eventually leads to fatigue.

Weight loss: Factors like water loss, metabolism of body fat and protein may lead to weight loss.

Blurred vision: Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia nonketotic syndrome is the condition when body fluid is extracted from tissues including eye lenses, which affects the ability to focus, resulting into blurry vision.

Irritability: Irritability is another symptom of high blood sugar level, This condition occurs due to lack of sugar supply to the brain and other vital organs.

Unhealed wounds: This risk has been often reported in the patients suffering with high blood sugar levels. The wounds on their body like small cuts and rashes will make an outflow of blood in a large quantity, and it is sometimes hard to resist it. This prevents the growth of white blood cells which are accountable for body’s immunity.

The succession of symptoms is usually slower in Type 2 diabetics, whereas it is rapid for Type 1 diabetes. Those suffering from Type 2 diabetes are often undiagnosed long enough, which leads to further complications like kidney failure and foot complications.
