Thirsty ALL the time!!!

I don't know what it is... I'm a 15 year old girl, and I'm thirsty ALL the time! I don't think I have diabetes, but like, I wake up about 10x EVERY night to get a drink! I'm basically parched all the time, and have had a LOT of mood swings... My family has NO diabetes reccord in like generations! I don't know what to do though... I must say it DOES get annoying! Do you know what it might be?

I would have the doctor rule out diabetes, some of the symptoms sound suspicously like the beginning of it. Also, if you live in a dry climate, your body might just be needing the extra water.

It could be your hormones do you also use the bathroom a lot, it wouldnt hurt for Mom to take you you get a sugar test, its only 12 hours of fasting and a ***** on the finger , a lot of drugs stores do it now ,or speak to the Doctor,your age group can get diabetes , you probably havent got it but its a good thing to rule it out, are you into sports a lot that could dehydrate you, drinking more is okay if your body needs it . Good Luck
