Excess thirst, which results in excess water intake (drinking) is usually a sign of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).

Actually, diabetes insipidus is a condition where your body can't concentrate urine properly. You end up drinking a lot because you're dumping so much water (I've had patients go through 10L a day!) but the primary problem is not addiction to water, it's the peeing too much. You have to take in massive amounts of fluid just to compensate and stay hydrated.\n\nWhen you pathologically drink too much water it's called polydipsia.

Home meters are rarely able to measure anything this high. but it's possible. Percy Sledge, the singer, collapsed in an airport and measured 1200+. First he'd heard he was diabetic. \n\nSuch high glucose values are not good. First, they make your blood thick and increase the liklihood of blockages in blood vessels. Second, your kidneys are almost certainly spilling glucose, and the water to go with it. So you're getting dehydrated. \n\nThird, will all that glucose in your blood, plain osmotic pressue will be pulling water out of every cell in the body. They're getting dehydrated as well. \n\nAll this derangement of the circulation, and dehydration of everything in sight is just dangerous. It can lead to unconsciousness, ie to diabetic coma. It can also lead to death or brain damage. \n\nGet that level down, and since you're starting so high, a trip to the hospital for close supervision iw clearly indicated.

No, it could be diabetes, it could be your pregnant, but that is usually not until much further along in the pregnancy when the fetus starts pushing up against the bladder, how many liquids a day do you consume? That could have a lot to do with it. Especially if you drink a lot of water or tea.

when you have diabetes, the kidneys work hard to remove that extra suger form the blood. so you have to urinate more often,and then the body asks for more water by making you more thirsty. so if you feel more thirsty, and urinate more often, then it is  the first sign that you have diabetes.\n\ndrinking more water will let you remove more excess  sugar,and will prevent the dryness in mouth and skin, but it will not reduce the sugar in the blood that you are adding by eating more and more food .\n\nwhat you need to know is  how high is the sugar level in the blood. Then you need to controll the sugar to an acceptable level, by medicine, by reducing food intake, and the exercise.\n\nIt is found that when we have diabetes, our body does not produce insulin. And body muscles can not use up the sugar from the blood just by doing daily routine work and we feel energyless(Lousy).\n\nBut recent studies found that regular exercise and walking at brisk speed( so you breath faster) reduces blood sugar.\n\nBut when you regularly exercise,then the muscles can

Being extremely thirsty and having to go to urinate a lot can be an early indication of diabetes. However, if you're averaging 3-7 bathroom breaks a day (I think 4-6 is considered the norm), I don't see that as a problem. It sounds like you're probably just stressing out over it for no reason. Can you usually sleep through the night without having to get up to pee? If so, relax.

LOL!!  There is no "required" amount that you "should" drink each day.\nJust a lot of myth and folklore.\n\nDrink when you're thirsty.  Period.  That's all that is needed.

A minimum of 64 oz a day, but more is better. Don't drink it all at once, though. Hyponatremia ("water intoxication" or "water poisoning") can occur, but only if a large quantity of water is consumed in a short amount of time. Spread it out throughout the day, and you can drink a gallon easily.

Yes, a diabetic can consume alcohol, but it really isn't recommended. If you do decide to drink, keep these guidelines in mind:\n-- Only drink when your blood sugar level is in good control / within the normal range. Alcohol actually lowers blood sugar so if you are low, don't drink at all. \n-- Keep it within limits of reason. 1 drink is plenty. \n-- Avoid heavy beers and sugary mixed drinks. Settle for light / ultra light beers or drinks mixed with water / soda water. \n-- Always have someone with you who knows how to react in case of a diabetic emergency. Your blood sugar may react differently to alcohol consumption at different times so don't count on one reaction being the norm for you. \n-- Always have a driver! Drinking and driving is deadly for anyone... not just diabetics. \n\nAgain, alcohol consumption can be very dangerous for the diabetic patient, but if you must drink, use your head and keep your reason.

Yes, it is possible to drink too much water (called "water intoxication), but this is an extreme case seen rarely. They occur in unusual circumstances and/or in patients who develop a water/salt disturbance or have underlying metabolic problems. Sometimes we see it in patients with psychiatric problems. Drinking 9 glasses/day is quite healthy and will not harm you.

Lots of people still believe you should drink 8 glasses a day. (Equals about 2000 ml)\n\nIt's not true.  This was debunked a few years ago.  You don't need to drink 8 glasses of water a day.  \nYou don't need ANY arbitrary target amount per day.  Drink when you're thirsty.  Period!\n\nhttp://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/8glasses.asp\nhttp://calorielab.com/news/2006/05/28/8-glasses-of-water-a-diet-urban-legend

No..Very hard to drink too much water.You need so much.60% of your body weight is water.\nWater Intoxication  only occurs if your fluid balance is upset by kidney or elecctolyte malfunction;or if you are a small baby who is being fed water instead of milk.\nAs a healthy adult,you need 2500mls of water daily.Usually drinking provides 1500mls of this,food gives 800mls and the metabolism produces amother 200mls. \nA useful rule of thumb is,drink whenever you are thirsty,after each meal and an extra glass before bedtime.

Most likely, yes! The high level of glucose draws water into the urine dehydrating you (thirst). It also affects the brain (tired). \n\nGood news - As your sugars remain in the normal range, you will feel better.\nBad news - Can be difficult at times.\n\nNote: If you check your sugars, and they are usually normal, and your HbA1c is good (3 month avg of sugars), and you feel tired and thirsty again, it is still possible to have other conditions. Bottom line, if you don't think it's the Diabetes causing something in particular, tell your doc.

2.5 LITERS BECAUSE \n\nIn the past few years studies have shown that many of us don't drink enough water for good health. Along with general healthy eating recommendations, most health promoters have urged us all to drink more water, particularly whilst exercising. The message has been strong - avoid dehydration. \n\n \n\nHowever, there is a different story emerging, especially amongst people who exercise. According to researchers almost as many exercisers are putting their health at risk by over-consuming water as drinking too little.\n\nDrinking water at every opportunity can cause serious problems, such as hyponatraemia or water intoxication. As the water content of the blood increases, the salt content is diluted. Consequently the amount of salt available to body tissues decreases, which can lead to problems with brain, heart and muscle function. \n\n \n\nInitial symptoms of over-hydration include dizziness, nausea, apathy and confusion. However these symptoms are also associated with dehydration - so it's important to be aware of how much you are drinking.\n\nIs there cause for alarm? The British Dietetic Association guidelines state that an average adult should consume 2.5 litres of water per day. This intake needs to be increased during periods of hot weather or during and after periods of physical activity. \n\n \n\nYou can get your daily water requirements from sources other than pure water - your cup of tea counts! Water is the main ingredient of all drinks – carbonated drinks and still drinks, fruit juices and fruit and vegetables all have a high water content

A normal person usually urinates only once from bedtime until the time she wakes up in the morning. However, if she frequently urinates at night, then her diabetes might not be controlled. First, a urinalysis should be done to rule out urinary tract infection. Midstream or the middle flow should be collected as the initial flow is dirty, middle is sterile, meaning it is more clean.  Her sugar should be monitored. When was the last time she had been tested for the HBA1c, this is a blood examination, called glycosylated hemoglobin which determines the average blood sugar for the past 8 weeks.  It should be less than 7. Her 2 hour postprandial or blood taken 2 hours after meal should also be taken. FBS or fasting blood sugar should also be done together with the creatinine *( determines the kidney function). liver enzymes ( to rule out liver disease due to intake of medications), uric acid to rule out Gouty arthritis! as a cause of the joint pains. \n   For the diet, her ideal weight for the height & built should be taken to determine is she is underweight, within ideal or overweight, or obese. From there you will know how much she weighs in excess or just enough. \n   Ideally for this case, a dietician should be consutled. She should have low salt, low fat, diabetic diet. Avoid too much of fruits because this contains natural sugar called fructose which can also increase her blood sugar. Avoid softdrinks, if cant control, then diet will do, but the best will be water, 8 glasses of water a day. If you are diabetic, you should have breakfast, lunch, dinner & 2 snacks to prevent hypoglycemia, blood sugar goes down which is more dreadful. Simple snacks can be simple crackers. Avoid too much of cheese this increases her sodium as well as her cholesterol. Avoid instant soups, this increases her sodium.
