10 Type 1 Diabetes Symptoms

Symptom #9: Dry Mouth
Our mouths are naturally moist. This is largely down to a liquid we know as saliva which is secreted into the mouth when needed and then swallowed when needed. It is an important part of the digestive process and also helps to keep the mouth safe from infection.
A dry mouth can be caused by many conditions, but usually, it is a sign of dehydration. Patients suffering from Type I Diabetes are usually dehydrated because of the excess amount of glucose in their bloodstream. You should seek medical attention to figure out the cause of this symptom.
