A. Polydipsia B. Polyphagia C. Polyuria D. Anorexia

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Polydipsia, or excessive thirst, is a common symptom of diabetes, including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It occurs because high blood glucose levels lead to increased urine output (polyuria), which causes dehydration and prompts excessive thirst.
B. Polyphagia, or excessive hunger, is another common symptom of T2DM. In Type 2 Diabetes, despite having high blood glucose levels, the cells are unable to effectively use glucose due to insulin resistance, leading to persistent hunger.
C. Polyuria, or excessive urination, is common in T2DM. High blood glucose levels lead to glucose spilling into the urine, which increases urine volume and frequency.
D. Anorexia, or loss of appetite, is not a typical symptom of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. In fact, T2DM usually presents with increased appetite (polyphagia) rather than decreased appetite.
