The classical symptoms of type 1 diabetes include: polyuria (excessive urination), polydipsia (increased thirst), dry mouth, polyphagia (increased hunger), fatigue, and weight loss.[4]
Many type 1 diabetics are diagnosed when they present with diabetic ketoacidosis. The signs and symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis include dry skin, rapid deep breathing, drowsiness, increased thirst, frequent urination, abdominal pain, and vomiting.[12]
About 12 percent of people with type 1 diabetes have clinical depression.[13]
About 6 percent of people with type 1 diabetes have celiac disease, but in most cases there are no digestive symptoms[14][15] or are mistakenly attributed to poor control of diabetes, gastroparesis or diabetic neuropathy.[14]
In most cases, celiac disease is diagnosed after onset of type 1
diabetes. The association of celiac disease with type 1 diabetes
increases the risk of complications, such as retinopathy
and mortality. This association can be explained by shared genetic
factors, and inflammation or nutritional deficiencies caused by
untreated celiac disease, even if type 1 diabetes is diagnosed first.[15]
