Answers:
My symptoms were extreme thirst (got to the point were I could drink 40oz of water in 15 minutes and still feel super thirsty), lost a lot of weight, loss of appetite (I dont remember ever having extreme hunger even though extreme hunger is a symptom), frequent urination (went 4-5 times a night a lot), and blurred vision!.
I don't know why sue doesn't think it could be type 1!. If you are diabetic, I would say you're type 1 because of you're age and weight!. If you're 14 and overweight, or a little bit older, then maybe type 2 (and yes, I know you can eat healthy and be at a healthy weight all you're life and still get type 2)!. You don't need to be rushed to the ER and put in ICU in a coma before you're diagnosed with type 1!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 16!.
My first symptoms were really thirsty, getting up during the night to drink and drinking excessively all day long!.
And frequent urination - having to go ALL the time, and getting up during the night to pee also!.
Hungry all the time, eating plenty of food (more than I needed to) and losing heaps of weight in a short period of time!. I lost 12kg in about 3-4 weeks (not sure what that is in pounds sorry)!.
Mood swings, fatigue - felt like I couldn't run from a bushfire!.
Looked really unwell according to my family!.
So if you think you may have some of the symptoms, then go to the doctor, you don't want to wait around to find out and trust me, its not the end of the world if you do have it!.
Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
