The first signs of the disease:
- frequent urination;
- constant feeling of thirst;
- dry mouth;
- hunger with good nutrition;
- causeless weight loss;
- fast fatiguability;

- achieve and maintain a healthy body weight;
- adhere to an active lifestyle;
- switch to a healthy diet, reduce the intake of sugar and saturated fats;
- quit smoking.
