Typical Symptoms of Onset Diabetes
September 1, 2009 by Jack
Just as there is no such thing as a typical diabetic, there is no such thing as a typical onset of diabetes. Some people experience a gradual onset, while others report a very fast onset. And though there is more than one type of diabetes, all types share the same main symptom: high blood sugar levels. Whether people become resistant to their own insulin (as in type 2), or they stop producing insulin altogether (as in type 1), the results are quite similar and quite serious.
