Diabetes
Diabetes can be classified into 2 types: type 1, in which the pancreas is unable to produce insulin on its own, or type 2, in which the body develops resistance to insulin and is unable to use it properly. Both conditions can lead to increased blood sugar, which can cause symptoms like a dry mouth, intense thirst, frequent urination and constant hunger. Diabetes can be managed with diet, medication, and/or lifestyle changes.
