HI
Thanks for your query.
I would advise you to get the following tests done:
1) Urine R&M
2) Fasting and 2 hr post lunch blood glucose levels
Keep a frequency-volume chart (amount of urine passed each time for 24 hrs)
Cut back on the use of Coffee, tea and drink less fluids after 8 pm.
Once we have the results from the above tests we will be able to offer you more suggestions.
Hope this helps
Good luck
