Polydipsia (medical term for excessive thirst) can be a sign of diabetes if chronic.
The excess blood sugar eventually gets excreted into the urine by the kidney, leading to the term Diabetes mellitus (or "sweet urine" in ancient times).
The glucose in the urine that's not naturally there creates an osmotic effect drawing free water out of the bloodstream and body tissues, which will lead to a decreased effective circulating volume and dehydration over time if it's chronic and unaddressed.
But polydipsia (excessive thirst) and polyuria (increased urinary frequency) are more pathognomic of a young, skinny young person with Type 1 Diabetes (autoimmune disease with beta cell destruction in the pancreas leading to a near complete endogenous insulin deficiency) vs Type 2 Diabetes which is the metabolic syndrome, fatass, late presenting version.
The Type 2 version can also present with excessive thirst and urination, but it's much less likely because the natural history of the disease is a slower decomposition with different features (deceased insulin sensitivity vs complete insulin insufficiency, etc.). In general, Type 2 diabetics are less symptomatic to insanely high blood glucose levels because the process happened more slowly and their system has compensated.
Type 1 skinny young autoimmune undiagnosed diabetics OTOH is really an emergency requiring carefully monitored exogenous insulin supplementation ASAP along with monitoring and management of other deranged parameters (blood sugar, fluid volume, serum potassium, etc).
A thirsty undiagnosed T1 diabetic will eventually go into a diabetic ketoacidosis coma without insulin as their body compensates by using ketones and poisoning its own blood. This is because insulin is the hormone "key" needed to unlock each cell's "lock" to transport fuel into each cell to be consumed. A young skinny T1 diabetic is in a paradoxical situation of an insulin deficiency where all their cells in the body are starving for lack of "keys" to open "locks" while their serum itself is syrupy thick with excessive glucose causing havoc that can't be used.
A thirsty undiagnosed T2 diabetic is really just a fat guy who should give up the soda.
But yeah, the girl chugging water is cringey asf, cant really explain why either.
Im not going to lie, super paranoid about becoming diabetic because im drinking a ton of soda everyday trying to keep my phosphorous levels up.
I was taking sodium phosphate for about 6 months and then I would wake up in the middle of the night with the most terrible drymouth, didnt matter how much water I drank, it wouldnt do anything to help.
Took me another month for my dumbass to realize it was all the sodium in the phospho tablets. Stopped taking them and problem solved.
Was good until I started taking the vitamin d. Now its been dry mouth city again, im assuming high calcium, but could be high blood sugars.
Im not thirsty, my mouth is just super dry all the time now.
I really need to go in and get my blood checked again and see what is happening, but I am so far past giving up its hard to motivate myself to get up at 6am and line up outside the clinic for 9 and pray that the doctor on call actually shows up that fucking day. (Yay free canadian healthcare.)
Im fucked man I dont see how im living more than five or ten years lmao.
Some people can prolly have hyper para thyroidism and function properly, just like most would have no problem breathing in a little bit of freon everyday.
It fucking wrecks me. Prolly because im a big guy with big muscles lmao.
I might be underinformed, but I'm fairly certain if you commit to a decent lifestyle change early enough you dodge getting the beetus or send it into remission. Its only the Type 1s that are fucked with needing forever meds and that's a from birth condition.
Like, when the wife got the gestational one, she just had to cut back on a few foods and then was able to get her levels low enough to never need the insulin shots a lot of pregnant women do.
He's acting serious but he's just latching on to her clickbait for his own clicks, for the thumbnail at least.

Some of the humps raking in hundreds of thousands on Youtube and elsewhere are the most undeserving people on the planet.
Maybe he just has a very 'dry' sense of humor.
I've often wondered whose humor is dryer, the English or the Scottish side of Idaho. Either one would be laughing about this.

Doesnt claim everyone does, just 1 in 4.

Why are you trying to supplement phosphorus?
Do you already know you have hyperparathyroidism?
Let me guess, the 'treatment' requires medication for life than just slight lifestyle changes?

Of course he's holding his lapel microphone in his hand.
"Licensed doctor" doesn't know how a clip works.

I want everyone involved pilloried for a month.
Youtube clickbait gets more shameful by the day.
Thirst traps all the way down?
