A member asked:
What to do if i'm feeling very thirsty and i have checked my fasting blood sugar level which is 98 mg/dl , is it normal ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sugar and thrist: You glucose level of 98 mg/dl is normal. Diabetes who have high glucose readings, which causes an osmotic diuresis, that makes them urinate a large amount of urine. That is what makes them thirsty. If you are not urinating excessively, you should not have an elevated glucose. Perhaps you need a greater intake of fluids.
