I have type 2 diabetes for 3 years now and i have never been so thirsty. i am not urinating anymore more than usual if anything i have been going les?

Check sugars: Diabetes, when uncontrolled, can cause people to become very thirsty because sugars over 200 lead to excess sugar ; water going out of the body in the urine. If sugars are mostly under 200, something else is making you thirsty. Regular sugar checks can help you know if it's the diabetes or something else.
