My precious daughter Brittany suffers from this life long illness. Since this doesn't run in our family we had no idea about any of these symptoms. When we finally took her to the doctor her blood sugar level was 1170 (normal is 125) She's been an inspiration to us all, she's never used it as a crutch or excuse for anything. She's gotten involved in awareness and education. Camp Sweeney (www.campsweeney.org) has been a life changing experience for her and our family, she's been selected again for a CIT position this summer. PROUD!
These symptoms may be the first signs of type 1 diabetes, or may occur when the blood sugar is high:
• Being very thirsty
• Feeling hungry
• Feeling tired or fatigued
• Having blurry eyesight
• Losing the feeling or feeling tingling in your feet
• Losing weight without trying
• Urinating more often
