There are three main types of Diabetes Mellitus :

Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 or (Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus): This starts typically in people under 30 years age. Insulin is manufactured in a simple looking factory smaller than your fist. When this factory fails to produce enough insulin or a defective one we get a condition that is called Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus. Let us have a look at the symptoms:

Signs and Symptoms: As the pancreatic cells fail to produce enough Insulin, glucose levels will suddenly rise in blood and kidneys would begin throwing it out. Presence of too much glucose in urine affect the way kidneys’ filter blood, making them release too much water, this will make you visit the loo far too often. Due to the loss of water, excessive thirst, dehydration and fatigue can also be noticed. Fatigue also creeps in because your cells do not have enough glucose as most of it is in the blood, unable to enter the cells cause of lack of Insulin. This exact is the reason why most people would feel sugar craving and unusual hunger pangs.

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus): This is what affects 90% of the people you see affected with this disease. The reasons can be many but lack of exercise and being overweight are important precipitating factors. It starts at a later stage in life and can finally turn into an Insulin Dependent DM.

Signs and Symptoms: In case of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 symptoms remain the same although they may not vary as much in intensity as they do in case of Type 1. People often attribute fatigue to work load, age etc. and take it normal to have a slightly raised appetite, it is when frequent urination begins to bother is when most people go over to get checked. In principle if you are obese/have a sedentary work life and or a genetic history, you must get yourself checked regularly

Gestational Diabetes: It is a condition in which women without previously diagnosed diabetes exhibit high blood glucose levels during pregnancy, more often around the third trimester. The change in hormones causes the cells to get immune or less receptive to insulin thus causing high levels of sugar in the blood. Symptoms are same as DM 2 and disappear after the baby is born. Gestational diabetes affects 3–10% of pregnancies.
