Signs of Diabetes?
Posted: 05-17-04 04:51am

My boyfriend is 20 years of age, and healthy. He is not one to drink water or eat healthy. But lately he has been urinating constantly and drinking water like crazy. When I asked him why he was all the sudden drinking water he replied that nothing else quenches his thirst. Can this be diabetes because it runs in his family. Please help me!

Hey, sorry for the late response, and I hope you still get this. Frequent urination, and an unquenchable thirst, are the 2 biggest sign's of diabeties type 1. When I was diagnosed, I went to the washroom once an hour, and I would drink 6-7 cups of water every 2 hours. And still be thirsty. I also was never hungry, and went 3-4 days without eating.

Get a blood test done on him as soon as possible, just to be sure, cause if it is diabeties, and u leave it untreated, it can lead to very bad results. Such as a diabetic coma.
