Extreme Thirst, Dry Mouth, Light Headache. Any Chance Of Diabetes?
I have been feeling unreasonably thirsty for the last one month. I feel especially thirsty after eating or drinking anything thats not water. I cannot sleep through the night because of dry mouth or needing to go to the toilet. I have a light headache through what feels like dehydration. I am suspecting that it is diabetes however the symptoms have only be strong for the last 2 months.
