Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I drink a lot of water, 12-16 cups or more per day and I weigh just over 200lbs. And I am usually thirsty, my blood sugar levels are perfect, 75 waking and 100-110 after eating.
Any ideas what could be making he so thirsty? If I only drink 8 cups a day, I get constipated and barely pee.
Apart from diabetes mellitus, insipid diabetes should be further investigated together with other thyroid hormones imbalance. Discuss with your family physician to run these studies and determine the right diagnosis.
