Hi

Has anyone experienced this? I was really thirsty but when i tested i had normal blood sugar. I was thirsty and drinking water all day.

Vic.
 
What have you been eating?

My 'non BG related usual suspects' for being thirsty are:
Monosodium glutamate
Soy sauce
Hidden salt
Preservatives/additives/flavourings

The first night I had sushi (it was lush), I was up half the night swigging water from the bathroom tap -staying in a b&b. Filled my 2litre bottle twice, and emptied them.
That's 4 litres between 11pm and 7am!
Can only assume it was msg...
 
Hi
yes it could of been the Chinese buffet i had
That day. I didn't have alot just small bits of this and that. I've heard it's full of msg. I will look out hidden salt too.
 
MSG is a nightmare for me migraine and thurst is really bad asthma consultant says avoid it cause i get a rash and start wheezing so think its another allergy
