A member asked:

How often can diabetics feel thirsty and need to urinate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sugar control: If your blood sugar is in good control, you should not have to go any more often than any other person. If your blood sugar is high, it spills into your urine and pulls water along with it, and then you have to pee more often.
