Hello and thank you for asking Healthcaremagic.

I am dr.Endri Katro and I will be answering at your questions.

Frequent urinating is a symptom of a lot of diseases. Being thirsty also is a symptom.

There is a possibility that you might have type 1 diabetes,BUT farther tests need to be done.

Even an urinary tract infection might give you the same symptoms.

First you need to check your blood sugar level,and do an urine test. These 2 tests will be able to tell us if there are signs of diabetes or not.Also it will be able to tell us if you have an urinary tract infection.If these tests are negative,than probably farther tests need to be done.
But first you need to consult your family doctor and do these tests.Depending from the results your doctor will determine the treatment.

If you have any other question,don't hesitate to contact me.
