When a patient's blodd contains excess glucose, why is the patient suffering from excessive thrist and urinati

1.since neither the liver nor the body cells are taking up glucose, why is the patient tired?
2. The metabolism of fat can explain the low pH of the urine. Why?
3. Given that the patient's blood contains excess glucose, why is the patient suffering from excessive thrist and urinatination?

Diabetics are tired with excess glucose because their bodies are basically starving. The body needs glucose to provide its energy for basic body functions and for exercise - no glucose, no energy.
When glucose levels are high, the body starts to break down muscle and fat. The breakdown of fat without any glucose present (or useable glucose, as in it is just floating around the blood, not in the cells where it can be used), releases ketones. Ketones are toxic and the body tries to get rid of them and flush them from the system. The way it does this is by peeing them out, which causes dehydration, which causes thirst.

Excess glucose is diabetes. Diabetes causes you to have excessive thirst and urination and weight loss. If you have not seen your doctor about this, it's time.

The symptoms are caused by the body's response to the disease.
