Excessive thirst (polydipsia) and production/passage of large volumes of urine (polyuria)
Dehydration and polydipsia are not illness in themselves. They are signs and symptoms of conditions that may be an illness or disease. They are both common in someone that has diabetes.
The three classic symptoms of hyperglycemia are polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia. Polyuria refers to increased urination due to excess glucose in the blood, which leads to more glucose being excreted in urine. Polydipsia is excessive thirst that arises from dehydration caused by fluid loss through urine. Polyphagia, or increased hunger, occurs because the body's cells are not able to utilize glucose effectively for energy.
As it is often accompanied by polyuria, investigations directed at diagnosing diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus can be useful. Blood serum tests can also provide useful information about the osmolality of the body's extracellular fluids.
Polyuria is the medical term for producing a lot of urine. Urinary frequency describes feeling that you have to pee very often but not passing much urine (this happens in urinary tract infections). Its opposite is oliguria (small amount of urine). Polydipsia means excessive thirst and often comes alongside polyuria.
