What Causes Frequent Urination During Diabetes?
Hi my girl friend is a diabetic with multiple health problems, she just called me and said that she went to use the restroom and she urinated for over three minutes with no control. She said it was like turning on the water in the sink. She has called her doctor and waiting for a return call.

welcome to hcm, diabetes is a condition with high blood glucose level which leads to excretion of excess glucose in urine. glucose is an osmotically active compund which causes more water to be excreted in the urine. hence diabetic patients excrete more urine.it can be resolve by keeping the blood sugar level below 180 mg/dl which is the renal threshold for glucose.hope this info was useful
