I am thirsty all the time. I had a diabetes test done and it came back negative. The doctor said it's prrobably just because of heaters at this time of year.
But what else could it be? My mum said it might be a thyroid problem... what's that?
By the way, I'm 16

You say you had a diabetes test done and it came back "negative". I assume you had a postprandial glucose determination done and the amount was within normal limits. However I would recommend you have a glucose absorption curve done. In this test you drink a glucose solution and every 15 minutes for the following 2 hours your glucose level is determined. the curve should show a normal progressive metabolisation of the glucose. If this is normal I recommend seeing an endocrinologist. All the best.

Diabetes insipidous pee out everything. But you say you don't have Diabetes. Maybe you have too many ions so your water balance is not correct. It can be because of too much sodium intake. Yes, possible thyroid problem. If your doctor is not continuing further exams, maybe you should inquire and let him know after about a week that your drinking alot of water. Then again, you sweat more during the hot times of the year and as a result, you want to drink more. Hope this helps.

You may have a hypertention condition or has to do with oily food.
Try to drink water; not caffeine drink.
