Dear Patient,
In diabetes, excess sugar builds up in your blood. Your kidneys are forced to work overtime to filter and absorb the excess sugar. If your kidneys can't keep up the excess sugar is excreted into your urine dragging along fluids from your tissues. This triggers more frequent urination, which may leave you dehydrated. In uncontrolled diabetes where blood glucose levels remain abnormally high, glucose from the blood cannot enter the cells due to insulin resistance so the body can't convert the food you eat into energy. This causes an increase in hunger.
