Answer #1

polyuria: excess loss of fluid associated with osmotic diuresis
polydipsia: excessive thirst or excess drinking.
polyphagia: increased appetite resulting from the catabolic state induced by insulin deficiency and breakdown of proteins and fats.

Hyperglycemia impairs immune function (decreases WBC function), promotes inflammation, increases blood viscosity, favors growth of yeast organisms and associated with blood vessel wall changes resulting in increased risk for infection and foot ulcers.
