Increased Urination. Am I Diabetic?
Question: hi its daily issue that from last 3months... i am urinating more like for example ... every night post dinner ..i go to the loo for 3 times and its not good ...am i suffering from sugar ailment ...shall i get the sugar test done ,,,, or else i can say ... what ever amount of liquid i drink the same amount goes out of my body ..why ???
Dear XXXXXXX,
Your symptoms suggest that your likely cause for increased urination may be high sugars. So get your sugars tested, control them if high. however it is a good idea to do a urine examination and a blood urea and creatinine, as early kidney disease can also cause increased urination.
It is normal for whatever water you drink to pass in the urine, that's how kidneys maintain the XXXXXXX fluid balance.
Regards

i hope i am not suffering from major kidney disease ..... i will get my sugar test done also and update you on results
Dear XXXXXXX
Don't worry it may be just because of excess water intake also. So just wait for the tests before assuming something.

Dear XXXXXXX
Post Meal 3hrs, a sugar of 114 is normal.
Get your Urine routine and microscopy, a blood urea and creatinine done.
Keep a record of your daily intake and output.
Make sure you are not taking too much of water around meals.
