What Causes Lightheadedness,frequent Urination And Appetite Loss?

Diabetes&UTI to be excluded...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am sorry for the situation you are in.
Having a very frequent urination might be a sign of:
- diabetes
- urinary tract infection (UTI) if you are experiencing pain or burning sensation while passing urine.
Feeling lightheadedness, loss of appetite and some distorted vision are due to possible loss of body fluids as you are having frequent urination with strong stream and volume.
I advise to :
- measure your blood sugar levels: fasting, 2 hours after eating and HbA1C level
- run urine analysis and abdominal ultrasound to exclude UTI
- measure the levels of electrolytes in your blood
- take a whole blood test to exclude anemia
Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed. Meanwhile, I advise to:
- increase water intake
- take oral rehydration salts or energizers (e.g. Gatorate) to replace the lost electrolytes with frequent urination
Hope it helped! Let me know if anything unclear!

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Thank you for following up.
Although urine is clear when you do go, there might be still infection there. Urine analysis will determine whether infection is present and other urinary tract problems.
Your fasting blood glucose was fine, so, diabetes is excluded.
At this point, other possible causes to frequent urination include:
- drinks containing caffeine (coffee, energetic drinks, etc.)
- consuming foods or drinks high in sugar content
- being stressed/anxious
- drinking alcohol
- consuming water or other fluids more than usual
If none of them, then, might be due to over-reactive bladder. But, first need to know if you're having frequent urination :
- during day only?
- at night?
- or day and night?
- are you having other problems?
- are you taking any medication recently?
- do you suffer of constipation too?
Thank you!
