Therefore, if no insulin is being produced than glucose can not be processed as well, leading to high elevated blood sugar levels and may even cause short or long-term problems. Patients with type 1 diabetes can experience the following symptoms. 

• Frequent urination 
• excessive thirst 
• excessive hunger 
• fatigue 
• blurry vision
• mood changes
• weight loss

Since there isn't enough insulin being produced, the sugar can't move into the cells used for energy. Instead the body begins to rely on alternative energy sources in the tissue, muscle, and organs. Patients with type 2 diabetes can experience symptoms such as:

• Constant hunger
• weak energy
• fatigue
• weight loss
• excessive thirst
• frequent urination
• dry mouth 
• itchy skin
• blurry vision
