Although there are three types of diabetes , the first symptoms of diabetes that are experienced are typically those of hyperglycemia or excess sugar (glucose) levels, and this first indicator is not very reliable.
The symptoms of hyperglycemia may include blurred vision, fatigue, increased thirst and appetite and increasing the number of times urine.

Type 1 Diabetes
In a person with type 1 diabetes , the onset of hyperglycemia can be quite steep due to the fact that the pancreas does not produce almost no insulin or produces no insulin at all. This means that there is absolutely no loss of glucose, since levels can only rise and rise quickly.
The type 1 diabetes is extremely dangerous and can cause death. The symptoms of type 1 diabetes , once known as juvenile diabetes because it usually only affects young people, should not be ignored and you should consult a doctor immediately.

Type 2 Diabetes
For a person with type 2 diabetes , hyperglycemia may take longer to develop until the symptoms can be felt and noticed. Many people do throughout their lives with type 2 diabetes and believe that some of the symptoms may be age thing, especially for type 2 diabetes usually affects adults of middle age onwards, hence its old name adult onset diabetes.

Because the number of children who developed type 2 diabetes in recent years due to poor diet and obesity (the leading cause of diabetes type 2), just became the name of type 2 diabetes. As type 2 diabetes symptoms can be subtle, many people are completely unaware they have diabetes.

The symptoms of type 2 diabetes are two, the first factor is a lack of production of insulin in the pancreas, the second is the resistance to insulin. Here is where the body begins to reject the admission of insulin, which transports glucose.
Therefore, the body of a person suffering from type 2 diabetes glucose is converted into energy, so that starts to accumulate in the blood glucose. The body may try to remove some of the glucose through the urine, increasing the number of times the person needs to urinate.
Gestational Diabetes

The diabetes gestational diabetes may be more difficult to detect because the symptoms are so similar to those of pregnancy can be nearly impossible to distinguish. Symptoms of gestational diabetes are, for example, fatigue, increased appetite and thirst and increasing the number of times urine. Gestational diabetes is usually a temporary form of diabetes, which disappears shortly after childbirth, although both mother and child will be permanently susceptible to type 2 diabetes in the future.

Another concern in relation to gestational diabetes is the damage it can cause the baby, which can be respiratory or cardiac damage, stillbirth or death shortly after birth. Untreated gestational diabetes can also be a contributing factor to health problems later and when the baby reaches adulthood, such as chronic obesity.
