They did a water test to check for infection. I don't drink a lot but do suffer from a constant dry mouth, I do get up a couple of times in the night to spend a penny............................

Check the colour of your urine - the first 1 of the day will be dark; if you are hydrated the rest should be straw coloured, if you are drinking too much it will be very pale …….

Thanks CLKD I will check this out

we can become obsessed with checking this, that and …….. but once you know your 'normal' colour you will be aware of how much you need to drink ……..

Having a raging thirst can be an early indicator of diabetes. I would suggest drinking just a normal amount. Don't go over the score. If you have been given an appointment in a few weeks then that would say to me it's not urgent.
When my hubby developed diabetes he was diagnosed and in hospital within hours as he was very very ill.
Don't worry, you will be given a few tests, a new diet to follow and some pills to take.

Don't think you will end up using insulin, so try not to panic.

My Uncle was 'diet controlled' for about 5 years.  He had enjoyed a drink/fag nearly all his Life ……. it's best to get these issues checked out so that you have a base-line to work from
