wp:paragraph -->\n<p>To understand diabetes thirst, you must first know how the body regulates blood sugar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In a healthy individual, when you eat, your digestive system breaks down carbohydrates into glucose (a sugar), which enters the bloodstream.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In response, the pancreas releases insulin, the hormone that helps cells absorb glucose from the blood. That\u2019s how your body lowers the blood sugar and keeps it in check.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>However, in diabetes, this process goes awry. There are two main types of <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/diseases\/diabetes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diabetes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/diseases\/diabetes-type-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">type 1<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/diseases\/diabetes-type-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">type 2<\/a>.

When the glucose concentration in the blood is high, the kidneys attempt to remove the excess sugar by excreting it through urine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As a result, the body becomes dehydrated, which triggers extreme thirst.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"type_2_diabetes\"><\/span>Type 2 Diabetes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In this type, diabetes typically develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn&#8217;t produce enough.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As a result, glucose isn&#8217;t effectively absorbed by cells, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The body excretes more urine to counteract this.
