Hi.
Welcome to the forum.
First of all we do not diagnose on the forum. Quite rightly, we are not allowed to.
Excessive thirst can be a sign of many things, not just Diabetes related. So getting it checked out is a wise move. I think you should rely on the GP to diagnose you, not just search the net and go for the first thing that pops up. It certainly isn't the first on my list.
Possible causes of excessive thirst:
A recent salty or spicy meal
Bleeding enough to cause a significant decrease in blood volume
Diabetes
Diabetes insipidus
Drugs such as anticholinergics, demeclocycline, diuretics, phenothiazines
Excessive loss of water and salt (possibly due to not drinking enough water, profuse sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting)
Loss of body fluids from the bloodstream into the tissues due to:
Conditions such as severe infections (sepsis) or burns
Heart, liver, or kidney failure
Psychogenic polydipsia, the result of a mental disorder
