EXTREME thirst, despite having fine blood sugar readings
Hey,
My blood glucose has been rather fine lately, no problems with my readings. Despite that, I've been extremely thirsty. Does that have to do with diabetes? Or could it just be the hot weather kicking in? I'm thirstier than the non diabetics around me. I'm a Type 1.

Do you have thyroid problems? A lot of diabetics have thyroid problems and Hashimotos causes dry mouth (even if your thyroid levels are optimal). There is also another autoimmune problem called Sjogren's which also causes dryness. Do you use a memory foam pillow, topper or mattress? That caused dryness for me.
