what could frequent urination mean besides diabetes?
Aug 31, 2009 | Frequent Urination Sign Diabetes
I’ve been peeing allot lately and the fact that i cud have diabetes scares me allot
so i need to know other illnesses that could be linked to frequent urination
i’m only a 14 yr old girl
and diabetes doesn’t run in my family
so it is rele important that i get as many answers as possible
because im scared
i do eat alot of sugar
First off, there’s no need to panic. ^^ Just breathe- You’ll be alright.
It may be as simple as a urinary tract infection. You may have elevated levels of bacteria in your bladder and the body would therefore need to expel it through urination. Overactive bladder syndrome is another possibility. On a more serious note, you could have Interstitial cystitis, which has to do with the wall or lining of the bladder. It could also be a mild kidney infection.
A question to ask yourself- Have you started any new medications as of late? Medicine, like diuretics for example could lead to the frequent need to pee.
My suggestion is for you to call and make an appointment with your family doctor. If they can’t help, make an appointment with a specialist, like a Urologist.
But chances are, you have a simple bladder infection.
Until your appointment, you should try eating a lot of cranberries/drinking cranberry juice/taking cranberry capsules- they’ve been known to help with bladder problems.
Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon!

unless you injest lots of sugars, you should be fine with diabetes. Frequent peeing may be caused by you drinking lots of water, eating lots of fruits. Possible menstruation, if you don’t go through it already, causing a hormonal imbalance. Or a possible lack of it, due to a certain paracite.
