Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body stops producing insulin, a hormone which breaks down glucose in the body, so blood sugar levels increase. 

Type 2 diabetes occurs when cells in the body stops reacting to the hormone insulin as effectively as they should or there is too much glucose in the body for the insulin to break down.

- Feeling thirsty all the time
- Losing weight (without meaning to)
- Feeling tired 
- Blurred vision 
- Cuts/ wounds taking longer to heal
- Peeing more than usual
- Repeatedly getting thrush

Having fruity-smelling breath is also a symptom of type 1 diabetes. The symptoms for type 1 diabetes appear rapidly, which can lead a diabetic to be very sick by the time they are diagnosed.

In type 2 diabetes, the symptoms progress slowly which means sometimes a diabetic person doesn't realise they are experiencing the symptoms
