Why are diabetics constantly dehydrated and urinating so often? relate your answer to osmosis and the lab we performed using the model cells (dialysis tubing)?

Hello there!

A big problem for diabetics is they get dehydrated very easily. Dehydration only causes their blood sugar levels to rise faster than normal.

The reason for this is sometimes the kidneys produce less urine then they are supposed to during dehydration, (you need that water in your body), meaning you wont be able to get rid of as much glucose as you should.

Hope this helps you!
