Feeling Excessively Thirsty
The reason people with undiagnosed diabetes need to constantly urinate is because they tend to drink a lot more water than usual. When the insulin isn’t working properly, excess glucose builds up in your blood. This causes the kidneys to pull fluids from your body’s tissues to get rid of excess glucose when you urinate. However, this leads to dehydration, making you feel intensely thirsty. This excessive thirst in diabetes is referred to as polydipsia and is common in both diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus. If you find that you remain thirsty even after drinking lots of water, it could be a sign that you have undiagnosed diabetes.
