Brief Answer:
Diabetes may be causing it.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you may be suffering from diabetes because the dry mouth, and frequent urination with excessive thirst are signs of diabetes.
You should test glucose levels fasting, post prandial and HbA1c.
If you do the tests you can consult them with me.
In case of diabetes you should treat it with hypocaloric diet and possibly antidiabetes drugs such metformine.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
