Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
WhileI do not FEEL thirsty, when I drink water, I drink a lot more this week than previously. THis has been going on since Monday. I also, expectedly, am urinating more frequently and with a full bladder. What I feel is a mildly dry mouth (I guess that IS thrist) and a mild ache in my back until I drink water. THe only different foods I have had this week were homemade sweet potato chips and homemade veggie soup...(maybe too much salt in it?)..Just wondering if there is something specific (beyond drinking water) I need to do to get back to my "normal" drinking routine or is thirst just one of those things that happens and it will sibside or do I need to make a doctor's visit. I do not take Diabetes meds, but do take BP med and prilosec. Thanks for any response.
also let your doctor know things are changing, it might be possible you wlll need to add some meds now for the diabetes
i hope you're feeling better by now. :)
