always dehydrated

It could be a few things not diabetic related, some like potassium shortage needs fixing. ring the dr on monday for a quick appointment,, not one in a week and get your bloods done

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?

how did you go with the Dr appointment today? it is potentially quite serious and I hope he has given you an early one...if you are being messed about, it is serious enough for an A&E visit

Frequent excessive thirst and/or thirst that won’t be quenched can be symptoms of serious medical conditions, such as:
•dehydration: Dehydration occurs when you lack the proper amount of fluids for your body to function properly. Severe dehydration is life threatening, especially for infants and young children. Dehydration can be caused by illness, profuse sweating, too much urine output, vomiting, or diarrhea.
•diabetes: Excessive thirst can be caused by high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), and is often one of the first noticeable symptoms of diabetes.
•diabetes insipidus: With this form of diabetes, your kidneys are unable to conserve water, leading to excessive thirst.
•dipsogenic diabetes insipidus: This condition is due to a defect in the thirst mechanism, causing excessive thirst and excessive urine output.
•heart, liver, or kidney failure
•psychogenic polydipsia: This is a psychiatric disorder that causes people to drink too much.
•sepsis: This is a dangerous illness caused by a severe reaction to bacteria or other germs.

I think your really need some medical advice, I would go to A&E to be assesed
