Possibilities : By your testing you do not have diabetes mellitus. You can get to this pattern 2 basic ways: you developed a water drinking fetish and your kidneys respond by pushing the excess out frequently. You can also have a condition called diabetes incipidus, where your kidneys do not save any water & you must drink to keep up.Your doc can do some tests to sort this out.

Unlikely : If you are a healthy weight & young & feeling well & had a normal glucose 2 years ago, it is quite unlikely you have diabetes. Your urinary frequency is most likely due to your high level of water drinking. But it would be reasonable to at least do a urine specimen in the near future to check for glucose in the urine, just to be sure, especially if you have a strong family history of diabetes
