A lack of insulin prevents the body from removing glucose from the blood, thus disrupting its functions. Fatigue, poor concentration, and dehydration can result from hyperglycemia, as the body tries to eliminate excess glucose through urine.

It is crucial to monitor for recurrent infections and dysfunctions of glands such as the thyroid, adrenal glands, and pituitary gland. Be vigilant for pancreatic diseases and significant elevations in blood sugar.
