The type of diabetes determines the risk factors, signs and symptoms or any kind of complications. Diabetes type one is classified as "juvenile-onset" or "insulin-dependent" diabetes. What this type of diabetes does is the immune system destroys cells that release insulin, eliminating the production of insulin in the body. Without insulin, cells can 't absorb the sugar in the body, which is used to make energy. On the other hand, type 2 diabetes is classified as "adult-onset" or "non-insulin dependent diabetes. This type of diabetes can develop at every age. The body isn’t able to make use of the insulin that is currently …show more content…
These happen when blood sugar is high, or what is also known as diabetic ketoacidosis. This is when the cells in the body are unable to get the sugar they need to produce energy because there isn’t enough insulin.

In HHNS, blood sugar levels rise, and the body attempts to get rid of the excess sugar by urination. Its signs and symptoms include excessive urination, followed by scant dark urine. As this syndrome continues it will develop severe dehydration. Warning signs of this syndrome include high blood sugar, dry parched mouth, extreme thirst, warm dry skin, high fever, sleepiness or confusion, loss of vision, hallucinations, and weakness on one side of the body. (Association, 2005-2014) Diabetic ketoacidosis is a condition that can easily turn into a diabetic coma, or even death. DKA occurs when the cells don’t get the glucose they need, they begin to burn fat in your body for energy, producing ketones. Ketones are acids that build up in the bloodstream and can appear in urine when your body doesn’t have enough insulin. This is developed in patients with type one diabetes, and is rare in people with type 2. The warning signs for DKA are Thirst or a very dry mouth, frequent urination, high blood sugar and high level of ketones in the urine. There are other symptoms that could appear, such as feeling constantly tired, difficulty breathing, fruity odor on breath, hard time paying attention or confusion, dry flushed skin, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain.
