A member asked:

I feel my thirst increased and my mouth is always dry when i wake up. is it diabetes ?

11 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Maybe, maybe not: A blood test could tell you if it's diabetes. But it could just be dry mouth from mouth breathing during sleep. Some meds can cause dry mouth too.
