Hi everyone, how are you doing today? 😊

Facing bladder dysfunction can be a frustrating and sensitive topic, but it's more common than you might think, especially for those living with Type 2 diabetes. Some people notice they need to go more often and feel like their bladder doesn’t fully empty, while others have a harder time holding it in and need to wear protection all the time to counteract the leakage.

❓ Have you experienced unexpected bladder leaks?

❓ Do you think diabetes plays a role in your symptoms?

❓ Have you found anything that helps manage this issue?

Yes, I have been put on 2 medications, but one leads to excessive urination and the other a stronger flow to help clear the bladder

This can lead to urgency which can be very stressful.

Excessive urination is a normal symptom of diabetes and use it as a tool to see how well I am contolling my blood sugars. As well as froth and colour all indicators rather than pricking myself for blood testing. So peeing is an important assessment as I see it to understanding where I am with my disease daily. Dribbling etc. is also part of old age, such a wonderful time in life as we wind down on life!
