    Not to be alarmist, but insatiable thirst can be a symptom of diabetes. It and night sweats were the two symptoms I had prior to my diagnosis. I recommend every one occasionally get their blood sugar tested just to be safe.

      Yeah, you should really get yourself checked out, if you are drinking any amount of water during the day it could be a sign of diabetes. The average is 6-8 cups per day. If you drink 6-8 cups then you really shouldn’t drink anymore water for the rest of the day or you might contract diabetes. It’s really serious, so many people drink too much water while not knowing they could have diabetes. You should experience panic and uncertainty as to whether or not you have diabetes everytime you drink water, it’s really the healthy thing to do. If you don’t have bald spots from all the worry I will be disappointed.
