Excessive thirst polydipsia and increased urination are common signs and symptoms of ___________________
Correct Answer
diabetesExplanation
Excessive thirst, known as polydipsia, and increased urination are classic symptoms of diabetes. In diabetes, the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. This leads to high blood sugar levels, causing the kidneys to work harder to eliminate the excess sugar through urine. As a result, the body becomes dehydrated, triggering excessive thirst. Increased urination occurs as the body tries to remove the excess sugar. Therefore, excessive thirst and increased urination are common signs and symptoms of diabetes.Rate this question:
