I am on Jardiance; it causes frequent urination and excessive thirst. it can cause dehydration also, make sure to drink plenty of diabetic friendly liquids, but if your blood sugars are running high, it will also cause these symptoms, are you keeping your blood sugars monitored?

@A DiabetesTeam Member do you regularly test your blood sugar and is it running high lately?

Excessive thirst and frequent urination are signs of high blood sugar

Or have you just started a new medication for diabetes or something else

The diabetes drug Jardiance can cause those (side effects) as could diuretics for High Blood Pressure just to name a couple
