frequent urination? could be diabetes?
Oct 27, 2009 | Frequent Urination Sign Diabetes
Hey all. I’ve noticed lately Ive been urinating alot more then usual. Im a 17 year old female and I decided to keep track for today. I urinated 10 times today between the times of 10am and 10pm. ( this is not counting the times i get up at night, usually once maybe twice) I also kept track of my fluid intake. I drank about 70 ounces of water and about 40 ounces of diet coke.
My urine was always a pale yellow-clear.
Im worried about diabetes (type 1 and insipidus)
Also: I don’t think type 2 is an option for me. I’m not at all overweight and I’m a pretty active person. I eat constantly, but my weight stays the same. I eat dinner and an hour later I will be hungry.
Firstly you need to get some facts right type 2 diabetics are not all overweight and they can be very active. So you could be type 2 but I think you are urinating a lot because you DRINK a lot .If you were type 1 you would have more symptoms than just urinating a lot. But if you thing you are diabetic then you need to talk to your doctor and get tested for diabetes because if you are diabetic then the sooner treatment is started the better

As a general rule, if it’s waking you up at night then you need to go to the DR. and request a test. I urinate alot but it’s just due to an overactive bladder.. However, It does NOT wake me up at night. I had onset childhood diabetes from the age of 3-5 and I got up to go to the bathroom ALL NIGHT, I would even fall asleep on the toilet. My levels are normal now and have been for years. Get checked, it’s better to be safe then sorry.

Clear urine is a sign of diabetes insipidus.

If your body is passing out so much water then it is working perfectly well.It could be that you are living / working in an enclosed area
( Air conditioned ) It also could be the reason, But you say diabetes,or even thyroid also has same symptoms.Or even Infection of the urinary bladder .Such quantaties of Coke is not good for health and teeth, hence not recomended.
it is better you visit your doctor to avoid any speculation.
Wishing you all well

You should tell your parents about that and see a doctor. Diabetic patients have 3 P’s which they call, Polyuria or excessive urination which you are having right now. Polydipsia or the excessive thirst. And Polyphagia or excessive hunger in spite of eating meals. You should also check your blood glucose to make sure. If not, use a pregnancy kit, maybe you’re pregnant.
