Excessive thirst and increased urination
Your kidneys are forced to work overtime to filter and absorb the excess glucose. When your kidneys can't keep up, the excess glucose is excreted into your urine, dragging along fluids from your tissues, which makes you dehydrated. This will usually leave you feeling thirsty.

Explanation:
Excessive thirst is a hallmark symptom of diabetes. It’s also called polydipsia. Thirst is linked to another common diabetes symptom: urinating more than normal or polyuria.
It’s normal to feel thirsty when you’re dehydrated. This can happen because:
you’re not drinking enough water
you’re sweating too much
you’ve eaten something very salty or spicy
