Diabetes and pee: Diabetics pee a lot when their blood sugar is high. High blood sugar causes there to be sugar in the urine, where it is not normally present. The sugar in the urine osmotically pulls more water into the urine as well. If your blood sugars are in good control, you should not pee excessively.

High blood sugar: People with diabetes pee a lot only if their bold sugar is very high. Check your sugar level.
