With type 2, it can be controlled with tablets (such as Metformin) or diet alone. However, type 1 diabetes can only be treated with insulin injections.

He shows the same symptoms still when he goes high or low.<br><b>References : </b><br> My step son, before he was diagnosed, was always either really naughty, loud, and hyperactive or tired, sullen, quiet and miserable.

Early symptoms are related to hyperglycemia and include polydipsia, polyphagia, and polyuria. Later complications include vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy, and predisposition to infection. Diagnosis is by measuring plasma glucose. Treatment is diet, exercise, and drugs that reduce glucose levels, including insulin and oral antihyperglycemic drugs. Prognosis varies with degree of glucose control.(Merck) Diabetes Mellitus Essentials of diagnosis. (1) Usually gradual in adults but acute in children. (2) Polyuria (excretion of excessive amount of urine) , intense thirst. (3) Nocturia (void of urine at night). (4) Polyphagia (excessive ingestion of food). (5) Weight loss, weakness, lassitude. (6) Pruritus valvae (itching of the external genitalia) in females, balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis) in males. (7) Leg cramps, crops of boils, loss of libido (sexual urge) and impotence (partial or complete inability of the male to perform the sexual act or to achieve orgasm) in middle age.
