Could i have diabetes? i've been drinking excessive fluids for weeks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's possible: Thirst can be caused by many things including uncontrollled diabetes. Typically in uncontrolled diabetes there will also be excessive urination with possible other symptoms like decrease in energy and blurring of the vision. A simple blood test will determine if your blood sugar is elevated.
