Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polyphagia (excessive hunger), polydipsia (excessive thirst), and polyuria (excessive urination) are classic symptoms of diabetes mellitus, a disease characterized by high blood sugar levels. Diabetes insipidus and hypoglycemia may cause some similar symptoms, but they do not usually cause all three of these cardinal signs. Goiter is not related to any of these symptoms.
