Diabetes symptoms, Causes and treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes

Your question is extremely vague - what exactly are you looking for? There are plenty of resources available on diabetes, including several sites that are dedicated to providing all kinds of information on diabetes to sufferers and their families. If you are looking for some specific information, you need to provide more details about your condition.


The main problem in diabetes, as you probably know, is that the patient's blood sugar levels are extremely high due to abnormally low levels of the insulin hormone in their blood. There are two main types of diabetes - type 1 and type 2. There is a vast difference between the two types, with regard to the causes, the treatment, and several other factors. The main symptoms of diabetes are increased thirst and appetite, combined with an increased need to urinate.


However, in type 2 diabetes, the symptoms are usually milder and sometimes entirely absent.

Type 1 diabetes is usually more severe and difficult to treat, and there are often other symptoms as well, such as deterioration of eyesight, kidney damage, nausea, and abdominal pain. Apart from the type of diabetes, treatment also depends on the severity of the condition, and varies from one patient to the next.
