Basically, that's my problem. I'm ALWAYS thirsty.
It doesn't really bother me, other than the fact that I go through every liquid in the house like it's nothing. I don't know why though.
I know it's a symptom of diabetes, but I've been tested for that already and I'm not diabetic. I've been like this since I was a kid. Seriously, it freaks me out because everyone will be on their first glass of water, milk, juice, etc. and I will easily be on my 5th or 6th. Seriously, I don't know why I'm always so thirsty! Any ideas?

memyselfand I asked:
I had random stick tests on a meter after eating large amounts of pasta or some kind of sugar. read 300. I usually never eat this much. I have been on psych meds for 10 years and off for 2. I gained alot of weight from them but since getting off I lost 30 + pounds – trying to eat healthier but hard cause im on ssi- eating more salads and using natural meds. told dr about this and he gave me panel- cholesterol high, A1C normal range for normal person, bp and everything else normal I sometimes *** alot but not at night.
I am not excessively hungry or thirsty except before my period. Drs test wit A1c was a 12 hr fast
was on most antidepressants but dr took me off. I use natural meds for depresion and other things.
also had a minor procedure done for some thing unrelated. incision was 5cm deep and it 1 1/2 weeks to heal.
