What is frequent urination?

Nov 07, 2009 | Frequent Urination Sign Diabetes

How often is considered frequent urination for diabetes?

Most people go every 4-6 hours on average, depending on how much you drink. Frequent urination associated with diabetes is every 2-3 hours or more. It feels like you are constantly in the bathroom, and like you have to go every 15 minutes or so. It does not stop at night, either. It’s a sign your kidneys are trying to flush themselves out because you have high levels of sugar in the blood stream and the only place for it to go is out. It is also the source of the constant thirst associated with diabetes. You drink more, therefore you pee more. Hope this helps!! :)

    I felt like I had to go all the time. I could go to the bathroom and then 10 minutes later i would have to go or else a bad situation would happen(if you know what i mean). It was a constant feeling nonstop all day (and night which was unusuall for me) It is because i was drinking so much water cause i had so much sugar in my body and was dehydrated.

    It depends on the person. I had a friend who went several times in 30 minutes. If you can’t hold down your liquids for more than 30 minutes I would think you may want to see a Dr.
