Does thirstiest have to be a symptom of diabetes?

No, but can be: Increased thirst can be a symptom of diabetes as the high sugar concentration alerts the brain to make you feel thirsty in an attempt to "dilute" the blood sugar. But, it does not always need to be present in all cases of diabetes. If concerned for diabetes, see your dr. For a simple blood test and exam. Best wishes.
