symptoms get worse at the end of day or after taxing myself physcially.
How long would it take for these symptoms to get worse/progress?
* Frequent and or blocked urination
* Muscle spasms & weakness
* Muscle tingling/pins & needles
* Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
* Loss of coordination & sensation (starting with feet and then hands)
* Numbness/tingling in neck
* Shakiness
* Loss/less of sweating in hands & feet
* Eye floaters/eye flashers & pressure and blurry spots/dimness in eyes
*Headaches w/ some mood changes & trouble focusing

I am 17 and a half y/o, and almost positive that I have SLE. I was just diagnosed with Raynauds. I get symmetrical joint pains & have the malar rash. My eyes and mouth get dry frequently. My grandfather had type 1 diabetes, and my aunt (on the other side of the family) has sclederma and hypothyroidsm.

* Out of those list of symptoms the first were the eye changes and carpal tunnel w/ numbness in hands/feet. This seems to be progessing & i am verry VERY frightened. (i am going to the eye doctor tomorrow & am seeing a neurologist VERY soon.)

Doesn’t sound like type 1 diabetes symptoms. If you had undiagnosed diabetes you’d be urinating a lot and frequently and would be nauseous and vomiting and just plain sick. Nothing you described seems like diabetes.

SO my question is, how long can you go with undiagnosed type 1 diabetes and still be perfectly fine?

Type 2 can go unnoticed for quite some time. Type 2 makes insulin. Type 1 will kill you if it goes ignored too long. you can’t process anything you ate without insulin. Since a type 1 doesn’t make insulin, the person actually starves to death despite the fact that they’re eating.

Feeling fine? Well, you wont really. You’ll start with the thirst and urination, then it gets so frequent you’ll think you’re losing your mind. This is coupled by irritability. This crabbiness is from the get-go, so you never really feel fine. If/when it evolves into Ketoacidosis (this is where it gets really dangerous), symptoms to expand to include funky smelling breath and pores, unexplainable sleepiness, labored breathing and ultimately projectile vomiting.

Talk to your parents right away. Dont wait.

type 2 – tends to be more overweight people, you can have this for a long time without being aware of it. Treated with diet control, tablets or insulin.

Type 2 is sometimes said to be "milder", but this is not correct, both types must be taken seriously.

I have had to pee more frequently
Have eaten and drank more then usual
Gained weight
And get extreme motion sickness from small things ( I had never had a issue with movement before)
I am also overweight and she said I have a spot that means my body is doing somthing odd with incilin.

Not quite the same for some people..

In type 1, the pancreas stop producing insulin, due to autuimmune response or possibly viral attack on pancreas. In absence of insulin, body cells does not get glucose for producing ATP (Adenosin Triphosphate) units which results into primary symptom in the form of nausea and vomiting. In latter stage which leads to ketoacidosis in which body starts breaking down muscle tissue and fat for energy, there is consequently fast weight loss. Dehydration is also usually observed due to electrolyte disturbance. In advance stages even coma and death, are being witnessed.

Diabetes Type 2:

* Increased fatigue : Due to inefficiency of cell to metabolise glucose, reserve fat of body is metabolised to gain energy. When fat is broken down in the body, it uses more energy as compared to glucose, hence body goes in negative calorie effect, which results in fatigue.
* Polydipsia : As the concentration of glucose increases in the blood, brain receives signal for diluting it and in its counteraction we feel thirsty.
* Polyuria: Increase in urine production is the result seen when excess of glucose is present in body. Body tries to get rid of the extra sugar in the blood by excreting it through the urine. This can also lead to dehydration because excreting the sugar which carries a large amount of water out of the body along with it.
* Polyphegia : The hormone insulin is also responsible for stimulating hunger. In order to cope up with high sugar levels in blood, body produces insulin which leads to increased hunger.
* Weight flactuation : Factors like loss of water (polyuria), glucosuria , metabolism of body fat and protein may lead to loss of weight. Few cases may show weight gain due to increased appetite.
* Blurry vision : Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia nonketotic syndrome is the condition when body fluid is pulled out of tissues including lenses of eye, which affects the ability of lenses to focus resulting in blurry vision.
* Irritability : It is one of the sign of high blood sugar because of the inefficient supply of glucose to brain and other body organs, which makes us feel tired and uneasy.
* Infections : Certain signals from the body is given whenever there is fluctuation of blood sugar (due to suppression of immune system) by frequent infections of fungal or bacterial like skin infection or UTI (urinary tract infection).
* Poor wound healing : High blood sugar resists the flourishing of WBC, (white blood cell) which are responsible for body immune system. When these cells do not function accordingly, wound healing is not at good pace. Secondly, long standing diabetes leads to thickening of blood vessels which may affect proper circulation of blood in different body parts.

That spot might be:Velvety dark skin changes of the neck, armpit and groin, called acanthosis nigricans ;

Causes
This occurs due to insulin spillover (from excessive production due to obesity or insulin resistance) into the skin which results in its abnormal growth, and the stimulation of color producing cells (melanocytes).

The most common cause would be insulin resistance, usually from type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Other causes are familial, obesity, drug-induced, malignant (gastric cancer), idiopathic, and insulin resistance in Polycystic ovary syndrome. In the context of a malignant disease, Acanthosis nigricans is a paraneoplastic syndrome and is then commonly referred to as Acanthosis nigricans maligna. Involvement of mucous membranes is rare and suggests a coexisting malignant condition.[2] It typically occurs in individuals younger than age 40, may be genetically inherited, and is associated with obesity or endocrinopathies, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, acromegaly, polycystic ovary disease, insulin-resistant diabetes, or Cushing’s disease. When seen in individuals older than age 40, this disorder is commonly associated with an internal malignancy, usually adenocarcinoma, and most commonly of the GI tract or uterus; less commonly of the lung, prostate, breast, or ovary. Acanthosis nigricans of the oral mucosa or tongue is highly suggestive of a neoplasm, especially of the GI tract.[2]

Excessive hunger!
Nausea
Headaches
fatigue
blurred vision

i was in school today and i almost fell asleep on my desk i felt awful and it was like 10 minutes after lunch and my stomache was still growling i had a great breakfast to. i also heard sudden weight loss could be a sign of diabetes. i was 138 pounds but suddenly im abot 125! i’m 13. yrs old btw. ^_^ thanks!

i would say maybe type 2, type 1 is for the most part, born with type 1
