Hello,
In diabetics, excess glucose builds up in your blood. The excess glucose is excreted through the urine along with other minerals leaving you dehydrated & thirsty. Control your blood sugar level at all cost.
You can take vitamin E, Evion-400 to feel better. Do not get dependent on medicines, take food rich in vitamin E & minerals.
Keep yourself well hydrated. Take soups & beverages. Cut on addictions if any.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
