How to recognize symptoms of type 1 diabetes


Type 1 diabetes symptoms are a common condition in the United States with something in the region of about 1 million patients and close to 10,000 new cases diagnosed each year. It is especially common in children and adolescents, but it is also common in adults in 30 or 40 years.

Type 1 diabetes is essentially a disease autoinmune in which the body itself immune system attacks the cells of the pancreas to produce insulin and production was significantly reduced or removed completely. Exactly what triggered this autoimmune response is unknown, although it may well be caused by some forms of viral infection. There are several theories that can be caused by the production of antibodies in response to the protein in milk cow, a reaction to excessive levels of vitamin D or a reaction to certain medications, including some antibiotics. At the end of the day, however, the real cause of type 1 diabetes remains a mystery.

As it is rare that someone with an increased appetite for losing weight often is a good indication of the presence of diabetes type I.

In addition, although nocturnal enuresis is common in young children, that a sharp increase in involuntary urination overnight may also be a sign of the occurrence of type 1 diabetes.

In other cases, however, type 1 diabetes symptoms may appear suddenly as an emergency requiring a visit to a hospital emergency room. In this case, nausea, vomiting, and strong stomach pains can rapidly lead to difficulties for breathing and patient can enter in a coma and die without prompt treatment.

In diabetes type 1 is common in children often is easy to confuse symptoms of diabetes type 1 for a number of other common childhood diseases and what is particularly important to be attentive to signs and consult your doctor if you doubt.
