Why am I so thirsty all of a sudden?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Thirst is normally just the brain's way of warning that you're dehydrated because you're not drinking enough fluid. But excessive and persistent thirst (known as polydipsia) could be a sign of an underlying problem such as diabetes.

View allWhat is type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. It occurs when the insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas are completely destroyed, so the body can't produce any insulin. In type 2 diabetes, the islet cells are still working. However, the body is resistant to insulin.

I've been feeling dizzy all the time and really weak for the past 15-20 days. I'm diabetic, and my PP is usually around 100, but my fasting varies between 200-250. Im on Piosys 30 mg once daily at breakfast around 8 a.m., Eurepa 0.5 four times a day, Vobit twice a day, and Basalog at 10 units around 10 p.m. I also take CTD for blood pressure. I tried Stugeron for 20 days, but it didnt help. Can you suggest something for the dizziness and weakness? Its becoming a big issue.
Your sugar levels are very high and may be your BP has increased.
