What Causes Excessive Thirst While Having Diabetes?

I have been having feelings of strong thirst for several days, almost two weeks. I can not seem to get enough to drink. I have vomited frequently. Often feel too full to eat even though I am very hungry. I am 23 years old have diabetes and my sugar has also been high over 300. I am losing weight at a very fast rate. Have many daily bowel movements, more than ever before during this time. I am taking my insulin on the sliding scale as prescribed.
