Hello,
Dehydration can be caused by illness, profuse sweating, too much urine output, vomiting, or diarrhea. Diabetes mellitus: Excessive thirst can be caused by high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). It's often one of the first noticeable symptoms of this type of diabetes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
