A member asked:

I have been very thirsty but have had normal blood sugar every time so could it be the food i eat?

Specializes in Endocrinology

Perhaps: Particularly if it is salty. Increasing thirst, often accompanied by increasing urination can have many causes besides elevated blood sugars. Talk to your doctor.
