[QUOTE="Salvia, post: 1629483, member: 278312"] Hi [USER=453717]@Kittycat_7_[/USER] , I feel for you suffering with this problem, I have the same condition, but am retired, so a bit older than you. My gp told me it is a very common condition, and 'tutted' and said I should have gone to see him straight away rather than suffer with it (which I did for about a year before I was finally driven by despair to seek some help). It could be related to blood sugars, but I understand it could also be caused by other things - possibly weakened bladder or pelvic floor muscles. There are some exercises you can do that might help to strengthen these and reduce the 'leakage' but I must admit, they're really hard work! (well, they are if you do them properly!). Have you mentioned this to your gp? If not, I would do so because it's something that can be relieved very easily by one little tablet a day. I was started on Tolterodine (I think the main ingredient) but was later changed to Neditol, which I suspect is a cheaper version of the same thing. They work for me and the relief was "heaven" - they literally changed my life (if that's not too dramatic!). Even if you only need some extra help for a limited time, until you get your blood glucose sorted, I'm sure a similar product could help you. It had become so bad for me that I was virtually trapped in my home for weeks/months, not daring to go out because the urge was instantaneous - immediate and I was at times wetting myself even as I ran to the toilet. Very distressing; you have my full sympathy. Please get some help, it will make all the difference, (while you continue working on reducing blood glucose levels). All the best :) p.s. This all assumes your gp will ask the right questions/do the right tests to decide what is the likely cause in your particular case. [/QUOTE]
