    Otherwise, try drinking Coconut Water. It is the best way to re-hydrate, and in fact, a lot of professional athletes swear by this, even though they are supporting Gatorade/Powerade/etc contracts... Just a thought.

  3. PurpleHeart - If it is really diabetes, the answer could be diabetes mellitus or diabetes insipidus, depends on the urine output by symptom. Although I'm agree to the first answer in this post

  4. Nana Lamb - it doesn't indicate any diabetes!! It might be a kidney, UTI, bladder, liver, or other problem just as well. or it could be totally normal for you where you live.

    I live in the desert southwest and we are dry to the bone and about all the way down to hell by now!! Everything on the surface is either sunburned or actually burned. Our water supply sources are polluted by smoke and ash. We all want more water than we can have!! It has to be hauled in for us and our animals. Animals come first!!

  5. cierra - I am 23 and have been a Type 1 diabetic for 21yrs. so take my advice:
    1) Make an appointment with your family doctor asap!!!!
    2)If you can, check your blood sugar & Ketones (A lot of Pharmacies, E-care clinics and hospitals will do it for no charge).
    3) Keep drinking the water, and as someone below suggested you may be dehydrated so try the coconut water.
    4) Until you have been checked out at the Docs or hospital,etc. Cut all forms of sugar from your diet, go VERY light on carbs and eat LOTS of LEAN protein and veggies, also stay away from fruit, regular soda, juice & caffeine!

    I PRAY yo DO NOT have Diabetes, but if you do there's lots of help out there to manage it, but if you don't care for it now, it could become more than a nightmare!!!
