What are the Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus?

Type 1 diabetes mellitus, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes, occurs when a person’s pancreas produces insufficient or no insulin. This shortage of insulin can lead to a range of complications, often affecting the heart, blood vessels, nerves, kidneys, and eyes. Type 1 diabetes symptoms can come on suddenly and without accurate diagnosis and appropriate management the disease can cause dangerously high blood sugar levels.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Symptoms

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease in which a person’s immune system mistakenly sees cells in the pancreas as harmful, attacks them, and prevents them from functioning normally. Though it can develop at any age, in most cases type 1 diabetes presents before the age of 40. Symptoms vary from person to person, making it difficult to distinguish type 1 diabetes from other forms of the disease.

Common Type 1 Diabetes Symptoms Checklist:

Increased thirst and hunger
Frequent urination
Chronic fatigue
Weight loss despite eating normally
Loss of muscle mass
Blurred vision
Pain and numbness in the hands and feet
