Diabetes affects each patient differently. The above symptoms are just the general signs that are noticed by Type 1 diabetic patients.

Do not assume that one of these symptoms may be related to something else. You must inform your physician as soon as possible because if left untreated, blood glucose levels will consistently keep rising which can lead to a diabetic coma, ketoacidosis and possibly death also.

Hypoglycemia Symptoms
Low blood sugar level caused Hypoglycemia. The symptoms of hypoglycemia may vary from individual to individual, so as the severity. Generally, hypoglycemia is diagnosed by a low blood sugar with signs that vanishes when the sugar level returns to the normal range.

Type 2 Diabetes
Specific areas in the pancreas gland, the Islets of Langerhans, produce insulin. Insulin is a protein of tiny size. Insulin stimulates body cells to consume glucose from the blood and convert the glucose to glycogen and store as glycogen. And the body cells convert the glycogen to glucose which is further used as fuel. In this way insulin keeps the glucose level maintained in the blood.
Because of diabetes type 2, the cells in the body fail to response properly by stimulation from insulin. Therefore, they do not take sufficient glucose from the blood. This condition is called insulin resistance. The glucose level in the blood therefore increases. Also the insulin production can increase to regulate the glucose level, but this effort is not sufficient.
