I would meet with a physician. If it is diabetes, your body is not producing insulin which would be shuttling sugar into your cells to be used as fuel or stored as fat. This excess glucose stays in your blood stream. The increase in thirst as well as urination is your body's way of excreting this buildup of sugar. While this is happening, your body turns to amino acids from your muscle protein and ketone bodies from your fat tissues for fuels. Over time you will lose weight as your body is essentially "starving" itself. I would get in to see a doctor right away.
