Default Skin Dryness

Ive been on atkin's for over a year now and am on the 4 stage of it. Ever
since the begging I felt dehydrated, and still do. I can't seem to be able
to get hydrated no matter how much water I drink. Any ideas on what I could
do to get more hydrated? When I wake up in the morning my tounge is so dry
that I have to soak it in a glass of water to bring my mouth back to life.
I feel like a piece of balsa wood.:-(

You still aren't drinking enough water. I don't know what you eat, or what
else you might drink, but I know that the first thing I want when I wake up
is a bottle of water.

Nothing wrong with that. Not only normal, but probably a GOOD thing!

Some of your skin dryness and dry mouth could be due to the air in your
home. Perhaps a humidifier would help.

Have you been checked for diabetes? For several years, I had an almost
constant thirst and often a terrible taste in my mouth. I was checked
several times, but the glucose tests always came back as normal -- until
last June, that is. Suddenly, I had a fasting glucose of 289 (defiitely not
good). I underwent a drastic change of diet (perhaps not true low-carb, but
very much lower-carb than before) and take one 500mg Metformin (a very low
dose) per day. My blood sugar is now under control...and I have lost that
terrible taste and incessant thirst. In fact, now I have to "remind myself"
to drink more water -- something that I never had to do in the past.
Incidentally, I am convinced that I had diabetes for several years before
being diagnosed. I have read that this is very common. I feel better now
than I had felt for at least 2 or 3 years.
