Symptoms of type 1 diabetes are often dramatic and come on very suddenly.

* Type 1 diabetes is usually recognized in childhood or early adolescence, often in association with an illness (such as a virus or urinary tract infection) or injury.

* The extra stress can cause diabetic ketoacidosis.

* Symptoms of ketoacidosis include nausea and vomiting. Dehydration and often-serious disturbances in blood levels of potassium follow.

* Without treatment, ketoacidosis can lead to coma and death.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes are often subtle and may be attributed to aging or obesity.

* A person may have type 2 diabetes for many years without knowing it.

* People with type 2 diabetes can develop hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome.

* Type 2 diabetes can be precipitated by steroids and stress.

* If not properly treated, type 2 diabetes can lead to complications like blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, and nerve damage.
