I am currently 32, diagnosed w/diabetes at age 28, for the last 2 years i have had frequent urination during day and night with urgency. Is it common to have this problem at my age? Is there medication that could help?
Have you ever had your prostate checked? An enlarged prostate gland could cause this problem.
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!!

No frequent urination at all for me.Is it necessary to feel the symptom of frequent urination in any type of diabetes?
Due to the increase in glucose in the blood making the blood like strawberry jam, the body makes you want to drink to help the kidneys filter the sugary blood resulting in an increase in thirst which in turn once the water and blood has filtered through kidneys results in increased frequency of urination. It is the most common and identifying clinical signs of diabetes.
I am not 100% sure but I suspect that the increase in urination and drinking in type2 diabetes may not be as noticeable as in type1 as type 2 is slow at coming on and most people can live with it for years without knowing they have it, however with Type1 diabetes it is unmistakable and often a more sudden illness.

He is out of certain medicine for his diabetes. He was said to have pre diabetes. Ever since he couldn’t get more of his medcine his mouth has been dry and can never seem to get enough water and he has to pee every 5 minutes.
He needs to see his doctor TODAY
No other symptoms. Mouth not dry. Going every 2 hours. Night and Day. Person is a 46 year old female.
After certain age the muscles lose elasticity and tend to relax; we are able to hold our urine with muscles. When those muscles relax it causes frequent urination.
If the person drinks a lot of "soda" or coffee, that also enables the frequency of the urination since "soda" and coffee have diuretic capacities.
I remember with me…if I wasn’t drinking something (sooo thirsty), or eating something (sooo hungery), I was peeing. At that point the body has given up on food even though I was feeding it because there wasn’t any insulin to break down the food. SO the body decided to eat the fat and then the muscle I had…the reason for extreme thirst was all the junk in the blood from the food that the body couldn’t process had to get out by way of the bladder. Thus, back to urination…very frequent, and the amounts were large each time. NOTE: in my case the urine did have a somewhat sweet smell (kinda gross, but to date, if my blood sugar is high it will be that way). Hope this helps, if in doubt SEEK A DOCTOR. A quick test and they can tell you for sure; it might be something else….
it can be, can also be a sign of a bladder or urinary tract infection
