Excessive thirst in type 2 diabetes can be a sign that your blood sugar is high. You should monitor your blood sugar regularly and consult your doctor promptly. They may check your blood glucose and HbA1c levels and adjust your diet, exercise, or medications if needed. In the meantime, stay well-hydrated, follow a diabetes-friendly diet, and watch for other warning signs like frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, or unexplained weight loss, as these may indicate that your diabetes needs better control. Do not try to adjust medications on your own.
