    I’m not a doctor, but overconsumption of water is a big indicator of diabetes :(

    Thats what got me in and flagged as diabetic, I was pissing like twice an hour.

      fyi, needing to pee more often than usual could also be an indicator for various sorts of cancer.

      My Dr was always freaked out by how much water I drink.

      Turns out I’m not a diabetic, I just love drinking water.

      It is worth checking though.

        I chatted to someone on the train once who told me she got addicted to the habit of drinking water and was hospitalized for a month or so because she basically flushed out all of her electrolytes and was deficient in everything. She said she was at 5-6L though.

          I probably average a little better than that. I also drink tap water and am fortunate enough to live somewhere with excellent water. I have heard of people having similar issues with distilled water.
