What Causes Urinary Urge Incontinence And Excessive Thirst?

Hi, lately I have been experiencing the urge to urinate more frequently, I ve been very tired and thirsty. Over the past few weeks, I ve had hunger pangs and headaches as well even when I ve just eaten or haven t previously been hungry during this time. I m thinking it could be type I diabetes because my grandmother had this and I have been told I have a increased susceptibility to this. Thank you for your help.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms are suggestive of diabetes but in favor of type 2. Family history suggests you are susceptible to type 2 diabetes. Please meet your physician get the fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar, urine sugar, serum creatinine, HbA1c which suggests the control over the last 3 months. Please check your vitamin D and vitamin B12 which may be the reason for your tiredness in addition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
