Always thirsty and peeing all night
Your mouth feels dry, so you drink. A few minutes later, the thirst is back. Then you are up two, three, four times a night to pee.
These two things travel together. When blood sugar runs high, the kidneys push the extra sugar out into your urine. Water goes with it, so you make more urine and lose fluid.
Losing that fluid makes you thirsty, so you drink more and pee more. High blood sugar is one common reason for this loop. Water pills, a bladder or prostate problem, or lots of drinks late at night can also play a part.
When to see someone
Book a doctor visit if this has gone on for more than a week or two, since a simple blood test can check your sugar. Go the same day if you are also losing weight you did not plan to lose, feel worn out, see blurry, or your breath smells sweet and fruity. Get care right away if you are throwing up, breathing fast and deep, very drowsy, or confused.
Below is a list of folk and plant remedies that people have linked to this condition over the years. Each one has a grade that shows how much research stands behind it, not a promise of results. Talk with your doctor before you try any of them, above all if you already take drugs for blood sugar or blood pressure.
