What Causes Excessive Thirst And Frequent Urination?
I'm afraid that I might have diabetis but I don't know what time I have or how bad it is. This has started recently and I've changed my eating ways now but im still worried. I'm suddenly very thirst and im drinking a lot of water which makes me pee a lot and those are also big symptoms of diabetis.

Hello,
Most commonly, excessive thirst and frequent urination can be due to increased blood sugar levels leading to diabetes. As the symptoms of frequent urination, excess thirst, and dry mouth are most commonly seen in case of diabetes mellitus, therefore you should consult a general physician or a diabetologist and get evaluated, and he can advise you to get blood sugar levels checked both fasting and post-meal along with glycosylated Hemoglobin levels HbA1c checked.
In case if the blood sugar levels and higher than the normal range, then you can be advised oral hypoglycemic drugs to bring the blood sugar levels to normal range. Along with its dietary modifications like curbing the intake of refined carbohydrates, doing moderate workout and taking appropriate rest and avoiding stress can help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
