How does diabetes cause neuropathy and extreme thirst?
I have read that diabetes is associated with neuropathy (peripheral neuropathy and autonomous nervous system disorders such as urinary tract malfunction), as well as thirst. Specifically, how does it cause these two symptoms? It’s OK if the answer is complicated; I’m just looking for an accurate explanation, since most of the web pages I’ve found just say that these are symptoms of diabetes, without explaining why.
Those are really phenomenal answers! Thanks so much. I should add that the reason I asked is that I have both symptoms, but my blood sugar is normal and any other diabetes tests were negative. I also have a few other minor symptoms of diabetes. Could these symptoms still have a common cause? (My doctor can’t figure it out.)
Diabetic Symptoms — Hair Loss?
I have diabetes (newly diagnosed, but apparently I have had it fo a while and didn't know it according to my doctor) and my hair keeps falling out near the crown and in the back, causing thin spots. Someone told me that this can be a symptomatic cause from having diabetes. Is this true and if so; why?
