Diabetes
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder which results in
1. excessive thirst
2. excessive urine production.
At some point in our lives, we all will have days when we will drink larger quantities of water and urinate more than normal.
This, of course, doesn't mean we hvae diabetes, as many other factors affect how
much urine the kidneys produce.
Excess salts, water and other substances in the diet
can quickly increase urine output. The difference here, is that theses are more or
less temporary states, returning the body towards
homeostasis. However, excessive thirst and urination on a daily basis in an unchanging
fashion or for no obvious reason requires investigation.
