Asked by Male, 37 · 4 months ago
Excessive thirst in type 2 diabetes happens because high blood sugar causes your body to lose more water. The best way to reduce it is by keeping your sugar levels under control. Take your medicines regularly, drink plenty of water, eat healthy meals, stay active with daily exercise, and monitor your blood sugar often. If your thirst continues, see your doctor.
