yes I'm thirsty more than usual. yes I was just tested Monday don't Remember numbers (Via just by finger prick) I would say normal or whatever I've consumed but feel like I drank a gallon of water
Brief Answer:
This could be diabetes......but need to know what the reading was!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up.
This could be diabetes. However, I will need to know what the numbers were before concluding and pushing further.
Also, I will like that you try to resist the temptation to drink so much water and let's see what happens. However, a week is a short time to think of the variants of diabetes that may explain this. I am more of the thinking that you drink more than may be needed by the body which explains why the body is producing so much urine to get rid of it.
