Want to know if people with type 1 diabetes are always thirsty. do type 1 diabetics always have symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Stable type one diabetics are no more thirsty than anyone else.An undiagnosed dm1 may have a build up of blood sugar that sucks moisture out of the tissues into the urine and leaves the person drinking to keep up with rapid fluid loss.
