Have you recently turned the heating on at work or home? That could be part of it?

Maybe a check up with dentist could shed some light. May be something like oral thrush

I have taken insulin but am very thirsty

 

[Adan]

What can I do?

Adan , Drink? Seriously, thirst is a sign that you are dehydrated. The question is why are you dehydrated? If you have tested blood sugar and it is fine, the answer is drink something. It is not abnormal to find yourself having a thirst.

Can you see if you are dehydrated? You know, if you pinch the skin on your hand?

Have a bit extra salt.

Have you had cortisol tested recently? Are you sensitive to light? Light-headed, particularly when standing up?

Pinch the skin on your hand? Huh? Cortisol? This is new to me lol sensitive to light when I have a migraine and erm lightheaded usually when standing up yes

This is a simple way to check hydration:

''Palpation

Check the skin turgor. Gently pinch a fold of skin on the forearm, hold it for a few seconds, then let go.

• Normal hydration – the skin will promptly return to its original position
• Dehydration – the skin will take longer to return to its original position
• This sign is unreliable in elderly patients – as these people tend to have lost their natural skin elasticity anyway

I would get the calcium levels in your blood checked if you haven't recently? parathyroid controls the calcium and my mum has just been diagnosed with a problem with them. she has to drink 3 liters of water a day and still cant stop being thirsty/dry mouth.

Someone else with a similar issue here: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/always-dehydrated.66735/

My response: "I struggled with this for a few years, turns out I do not tolerate gelatin at all and it made me so thirsty I would drink until my stomach hurt. Possibly you have something similar. Does this happen after eating something in particular?"
