The symptoms of type 1 diabetes usually develop over a short period of time. They include:
- Unusual increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Extreme hunger
- Unusual weight loss

If not diagnosed and treated with insulin, the person with type 1 diabetes will eventually lapse into a life-threatening condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis (KEY-toe-asi-DOE-sis) or DKA.
