A member asked:
I was wondering is dehydration only a sign of diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is simply a symptom of water depletion.It can occur in a number of conditions (failure to drink, diarrhea, excessive sweating, excessive vomiting and others).It is also a sigh of uncontrolled diabetes, but is not the only sign of that condition.
