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]

Yes the symptoms are the same. The difference is that with type I you go straight to injecting insulin because your pancreas is no longer producing insulin on it’s own and it generally develops in early childhood regardless of weight or lifestyle. With type II you usually take pills to control it because your pancreas is still making insulin just not enough or your body cells are not absorbing it. Type II is usually due to lifestyle and being obese. With type II you can eventually have to use insulin.

OK, I’m not sure what kind of spot you are referring to. If it was a blood test or something, then you need to call your doctor.
The symptoms are the same for Types 1 and 2. Just the cause is different. Type 2 usually starts out as Insulin Resistance. Type 1 is usually an auto-immune response, but the cause is pretty much unknown.
If your cravings are for sweets, then your blood sugar is too high. If you WERE craving sweets and now the thought makes you nauseated, you’ve been too high for too long. Call your Dr right away, please!
These symptoms can also be an infection or something, so get it checked out. If you have a friend who is a diabetic, ask them to check your blood sugar asap.
Take care,

Regardless of the type of diabetes, the symptoms are the same. They are often more insidious in the case of type 2 diabetes.
* Elimination of excessive urine (it is common to get up at night to go urinate)
* Increased thirst and hunger
* Weight loss
* A weakness and excessive fatigue
* Blurred vision
* An increase in the occurrence and recurrence of infections of the skin, gums, bladder, vulva or the foreskin
* A slowdown in the healing process
* Numbness or tingling in hands and feet
Note. Untreated diabetes causes severe symptoms it is important to recognize.
