Visiting the Restroom After Drinking
You are always told to aim for eight glasses of water a day. Drinking water is a healthy habit. However, if you are thirsty no matter how much you drink and spend more time in the bathroom than anywhere else, you need to see a doctor. At the beginning of type 2 diabetes, the cells in your body will become less capable of absorbing and utilizing blood glucose (sugar). Since the sugar cannot be used, it will remain in the bloodstream, building up over time, until you get toxic.
Your body has a last resort, though. It will flush out the sugar with excessive urination.
Sound familiar? Ask your family doctor about an A1C blood test, which is used to measure blood sugar over 3 months. The faster type 2 diabetes is diagnosed, the better off you will be. Prolonged high blood sugar can lead to organ damage.
