Patient's question:
My friend was very, very young when one day, without any warning, they suddenly developed a love for drinking but a dislike for eating. I vaguely remember my mother saying that the doctor diagnosed it as polydipsia. Although my friend loves to drink, is thin, and drinks a lot, they feel that they should not have diabetes. I vaguely remember my mother saying that the doctor diagnosed it as polydipsia. Although my friend loves to drink, is thin, and drinks a lot, they feel that they should not have diabetes. What causes polydipsia?Doctor's answer:
Generally, polydipsia and polyuria correspond one-to-one with Western medicine, which is primarily characterized by hyperglycemia and glucosuria. This is mainly because the damage to the viscera and organs leads to diabetes, and the most terrible complications of diabetes should be well-controlled to prevent their recurrence.However, there is a difference. In your case, it is not the most terrible complication of diabetes, so it is still important to control blood sugar well to prevent complications.
It is recommended that while taking medication, you pay attention to dietary adjustment, eat less high-sugar food, and pay attention to exercise while maintaining a good mentality.
It is also suggested that you have a fasting blood glucose test and a post-meal blood glucose test two hours after eating to see the results.
