Excessive Thirst
The medical term for excessive thirst is polydipsia. [5] Excessive thirst is one of the primary signs and symptoms that you might have type 2 diabetes. This symptom is linked to some other symptoms, for example, urinating more than usual or polyuria simply because the more you drink water, the more you urinate.
Despite that this symptom is one of the first signs of diabetes, it can still be ignorantly ignored and not attended to quickly. This is because feeling thirsty can be seen as usual, since you feel thirsty when you are simply not drinking enough water, sweating too much, and when you eat something spicy. However, if this symptom is quickly traced to type 2 diabetes, it can be treated so that you prevent or reduce the sign with the proper medical treatment and care.
