Im 53 male. I have been extremely thirsty for over a week now. I can t seem to get enough liquid to satisfy the thirst. I m a pre diebetic and I do drink a lot of vodka. It seems like I m not hungry nothing sounds good to me and that s usual. I have to go to the bathroom to urinate all the time. I will make an appointment with my Dr. this week, but what do you think of these symptoms and is there anything I can do to help stabilize me.
Hello there. Thanks for posting your question on Chat Doctor. You said that you are pre-diabetic, but what is your blood sugar level? Frequent urination that is polyuria and increased thirst i.e. polydipsia are common symptoms of diabetes. I would advise you to get your fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels done. Also, a glycosylated hemoglobin should be done to know the status of your blood sugar in the past. I would advise you to stop ingesting alcohol as it will only increase your chances of getting diabetes. Diabetes is often treatable by lifestyle modifications like proper diet, exercise. I hope that answers your question. If you have any other queries please feel free to write. Stay Healthy.
