Within two weeks I knew where every public restroom in town was...and here at home everyone was glad we had two bathrooms because I was usually in one of them. Got up 4-6 times nightly, as well.
I think EXTREME thirst better describes it.
Exactly how i felt as well, I never thought about it being Diabetes, i though i was becoming addicted to liquids over food. Dreading going to calls on the 1st floor where i work because i was so drained of energy it was HARD to walk up the stairs!

As everyone has said, you just cannot get a diagnosis off of the internet, you MUST see a doctor, if you have these symptoms we're describing... to the same extent, you're dangerously close to colapsing into a coma, you could have ketones that can kill you, we can't stress enough how serious it is to SEE A DOCTOR.
