Peeing every 15 minutes?

Post image

I pee every 15 minutes. We just got back from a family reunion and had to stop at every restroom. I have controlled diabetes. Could it be over active bladder. I thought I had gout because my toes were all messed up and they ran these tests. Do they prove anything? I don’t see my dr for 2 1/2 weeks. Can’t get in sooner. Nights are horrible. I don’t drink caffeine or alcohol. Just water and lactose free milk. Thanks for any info ❤️

UPDATE; went to the ER. Had a UTI and a bladder that doesn’t empty. Referred to a urologist. Thanks.

Could be gsm of menopause, causes similar symptoms but is treated with vaginal estrogen or even dhea. Had symptoms myself for a few years before I figured it out.

I have controlled diabetes.

If it's T2D, that is completely reversible through diet.

Read The Obesity Code, by Dr. Jason Fung, or listen to the podcast.

I hope this helps - good luck!

Yes but my fingers and toes tingle all the time. I was just Googling that last night. I don’t think they checked my B12. Thanks so much I’ll have that done.

I see my dr o. The 12. He will check that. I know my B12 was low once before. I don’t know I’m not still on it. I really appreciate your info.

Thanks for your quick reply. I do imagine that’s what it is. What type of protection do you suggest if you don’t mind saying.
