Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I don't think it is due to ranitidine since it is not known for any diuretic effect.
I think you should be checked for diabetes.
*do fasting glucose levels
*do post prandial glucose levels
*do a HbA1c

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
