Is eating and dry mouth and numbness and tingling and drinking a lot a sign of diabetes? Also is 120/80 high blood pressure?

Your blood pressure is normal.If you are concerned about diabetes because of family history or obesity a blood test will provide the answer
Yes to the first, no to the second. But if you have diabetes and are urinating more than you are taking fluids in, then it can cause your blood pressure to be in the normal range.
They could be. You didn't mention frequent urination. Usually dry mouth associated with diabetes is a result of excessive urination causing dehydration. The dry mouth is your body telling that you are urinating more out than you are taking in . This is often associated with a large intake of food but losing weight in spite of the large intake. Since you didn't mention urination or wt. loss or the other symptom, rapid breathing (polyuria, polydipsia, & polyphagia) & a normal BP I would doubt that your dry mouth or overeating is due to diabetes. But it wouldn't hurt to see a Dr. & get tested or buy an over-the-counter urine test kit for sugar & ketones & test yourself. If positive please see a DR. right away. Good luck!
Yes, these are all symptoms of diabetes, but there are disorders that might cause them. Please see your health care provider to check your blood glucose level. Your blood pressure is normal.
