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.
