yes, it's another bathroom question.....

here it is, frank and to the point:

how many times on a regular day do you all urinate? I know this is an odd question, but I seem to go a lot in comparison to others, and since it's one preliminary sign of things like diabetes, I'm curious...

I swear, I go no less than 10 times a day....

Do you drink alot of water?

I know that since I started dieting, I've been trying to drink around 3 litres of water each day and I've been running to the bathroom every half hour, literally. Lol.

thanks for replying..

I drink a lot of coffee... I know it makes you go more often.. but man, it's constant...

I go about A MILLION times a day!  Haha...

It's even worse at night.  I'm up going at least once every hour for the first 5-6 hours.

I don't know if it means anything though.  I just know I do drink quite a bit of water!

Well if you are drinking alot of coffee, it is probably normal. But if you are really concerned about it maybe being a preliminary sign of diabetes (do you have a history of diabetes in your family?) then you might want to go to your doctor to get a professional opinion on the matter.

Oi...my family has a history of diabetes =\

 I go about every half hour as well.

Around 2-4 times, sometimes 7 or more when I drink lots of water, coffee  or soda.

 

I also go frequently.  I do hot tea or water basically all day long.  I haven't counted, but I am sure it is close to your count.  As for diabetes... I think you are very thirsty with that.  Online there is probably good info about signs.

I recently found out that I had diabetes.   At the time I didn't think I had any symptoms but looking back now realize I did.  The symptoms progressed over time which made it hard for me to notice.  Not only did I drink more, I was tired all the time.   

If you drink allot of fluids as part of your diet, then you are going to need to go more often than normal. 

If you are still concerned, do yourself a favor and get checked!  Diabetes is something you want to know about and manage if you have it. 

good luck.

 

  

I have never in my life tried to count how often I pee a day... a lot though! I drink mucho water.

There's a lot more than just excessive urinating with diabetes. Easy way to find out is a fasting blood sugar.

Coffee is a diuretic, just like soda, so it makes you have to pee a lot. I'm sure your bathroom problem is nothing to be concerned about, but if diabetes does run in your family, it wouldn't hurt to get it checked out.

As for myself, I drink A LOT of water and pee 10+ times a day. I think I have a really small bladder though. Anyway, you're not the only one who's constantly in the bathroom. I swear sometimes I think I should just put my desk in there, lol.

Since I started drinking lots of water, I go just about every 30-minutes. At work I drink (7) 16 oz glasses of water & when I get home about 3-4 bottles of water. I guess its normal.
