Long ago, pre diabetes, I got into the habit of drinking water in the car all the time, and I was a lot in my non A/C car. The more I drank, the thirstier I got. When your body expects to get fluids it lets them go, creating more thirst. Wonder if you tried to drink enough fluids for a couple of weeks so that your urine was pale - then see if it changes your thirst?I know I'm probably dehydrated most of the time since, as ColaJim pointed out, my urine is darker than normal but I just can't drink something when I don't ever feel thirsty.
Haha, Moon! I flew home to Ottawa last summer to visit my family that I hadn't seen in 10 years since moving to Sweden. The entire time we were there, the temperature was no lower than 35 Celsius (95 Fahrenheit). Even then, I had no desire to drink anything nor do I when we go to our house in Torrevieja, Spain for the winter. I just finished a 4 km walk 10 minutes ago and didn't drink anything on the walk and I don't feel thirsty now. I drink water now only because I know I need to drink more. I force myself to drink 2 litres (8 glasses) per day but most days I don't quite get to that amount.Long ago, pre diabetes, I got into the habit of drinking water in the car all the time, and I was a lot in my non A/C car.

If you have trouble drinking enough, I can recommend moving to a warmer climate and getting into a closed-up car with no A/C - you'll reach for that water in a hurry!
Then you're in good shape (except for the hating-to-drink it part.) I'll stop worrying about you nowI force myself to drink 2 litres (8 glasses) per day but most days I don't quite get to that amount.
