“I am feeling very thirsty lately. Could it be a sign of diabetes? Should I get myself checked?”
I have noticed that recently I feel very thirsty during the day. My water consumption and frequency of urination have both increased but I am still so thirsty. Could it be a sign of diabetes? Should I get myself checked?

These are signs of diabetes, and you should be evaluated by your family physician, or an endocrinologist immediately.
You should definitively be checked.
Yes, it could be diabetes and you should get it checked. There are other causes of polydipsia (thirst) & polyuria (urination), not all are SERIOUS & need treatment. Please see your Dr. right away & get it checked.
Yes. You can go to any pharmacy, buy a glucose meter (Inexpensive) check your glucose before breakfast. If your blood glucose is above 100 you should see your physician
