Has anyone got any suggestions on an unquenchable thirst? Seem to be drinking gallons but still needing more to rehydrate, peeing for the UK and now suffering with constipation as well. Worried I might start affecting my electrolyte balance as well. Any suggestions greatly received, Thanks
Go to pharmacy today for a blood glucose test. I went to see my GP who thought I looked too well for diabetes but sent me for blood test to measure my average blood sugar over previous 8 weeks - you don't have to fast for this test. Mine was 117/12.9. Should be under 43/6. This was 6 months after cancer diagnosis. Stress can trigger diabetes. I just take tablets daily .
