A member asked:
Can you have diabetes without experiencing excessive thirst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Excessive thirst and urination usually appear when your blood sugar on the average has been above 200 all the time. You do not need to wait until the classic symptoms appear to intervine, it might take you years to do so and you might already have the complications at that time.
