Polydipsia is a condition marked by persistent, excessive thirst and the constant need to drink fluids. While occasional thirst is normal, ongoing and unrelenting thirst can be an early warning sign of diabetes.

When blood sugar levels remain high, the body tries to flush out excess glucose through urine—leading to dehydration and an increased urge to drink water. For many people, polydipsia is one of the first noticeable symptoms of diabetes.

Warning Signs to Watch For:

• Constant thirst, even after drinking fluids

• Dry mouth

• Frequent urination

• Fatigue or weakness

• Blurred vision

When to Take Action:

If you or someone you love experiences persistent thirst along with any of these symptoms, it’s important to speak with a healthcare provider. Early detection can help prevent complications and support long-term health.

💙 Listening to your body is the first step toward protecting it.
