A diabetic will urinate more because the kidneys are working overtime .

Because diabetics don't have enough insulin to carry sugar into the cells, the sugar builds up in the blood and spills into the urine. The sugar loaded urine has a higher osmolality than normal urine, so it pulls more water out with it, increasing the urine volume. The loss of water via the urine makes the person thirsty, so he/she drinks more as well.

Well, because the pancreas isn't producing insulin, the kidneys have to filter out the extra sugar, which creates more urine, which also makes them drink like crazy!! My hubby is a diabetic, since he was 14, and he said before they knew for sure, he could drink a gallon of water without realizing he had, and then he would go to the bathroom all the time. It's a way for the body to rid itself of extra "stuff" in the blood stream.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

A patient in DKA (diabetic kedoacidosis) will show signs by having polydipisa (increased water intake due to high sugar in blood stream), polyphasia (increased food comsumption due to your body thinking you don't have enough sugar since it's all in the bloodstream and not the cells) and polyurnia (due to increased water intake and the kidneys trying to filter out the excess sugar in the bloodstream)
