Hello everyone! How are you today?

Have you ever had issues with excessive urination? How is it now? How do you cope? Any advice for someone who is newly diagnosed?

Take care,

I have let myself go a bit due to social/family issues recenty, my blood sugars are over 15 in the morning and threatened with the dreaded needle instead of oral medicine. Peeing like crazy, up four times last night, daytime quite normal for me to pee alot for many years. So, I decided to change my diet and concentrate on losing weight, always the thought of jabbing myself with those needles a real incentive. Once you get yourself right and medicine at the correct level/balance no doubt your excess peeing will reduce, all quite normal for diabetics. Your regular blood tests through your GP should allow you to see if you are well balanced or not. You eye tests also are good indicators, I now have started low damage to the rear of my eyes, another incentive to get my act together. Not had any body parts chopped off yet, unlike my brother but keep a close eye on my feet.

We diabetics must start to take control of our bodies and try to help ourselves, the NHS is broken so can't always be there as we would like. You can buy some test strips online to test your pee for less than a tenner in addition to your blood meter, gives you additional info on kidney condition etc. As you control your diabetes you will pee less generally!
