I just did this today for lunch. Started at 6.1 (that was the breakfast of a small portion of oats, after 2 hours). For lunch I had a chicken kiev (garlic/herb), some sweetcorn, peas, cucumber, wholegrain pasta and then a small chocolate after (6g carbs). So after all this was consumed at 12:10...

I will go to my GP asap next week. The glucose level that causes increased urination is around 10.0 I believe, is this always the case though? If I'm having readings of 5.4 and 5.9 during the bouts of frequent urination, then this can't be due to high glucose levels? I am planning on doing...

I have tested myself using a previous monitor that my dad used last year (he is type 2) but I'm using his test strips, which are obviously in date. Should I still get an accurate enough reading? I know there's meter variance but I've done separate tests in the space of 2 weeks, almost 2 hours...

I have done two separate recent finger prick blood glucose tests on myself, on the 27th and the other yesterday on the 5th Jan. Both done about 1hour 50 mins after eating. My results were 5.4 and 5.9 which I see is in the normal range for a non diabetic. However I know that the most...

@Mep I have been doing exactly that so far. Although at times I have forgotten my voiding and intake amounts and on days where I've had normal urination simply because I was my normal self and didn't think about it. It's on days when I started getting this is when I worry and become on edge. So...

You're no longer diabetic now?

I'm having bouts where I'll need to go pee more often. What's strange though is that this is intermittent. So I'll have three or more days maybe where I'm totally fine, normal urination, no urge etc. then suddenly the next day I'll have this bout where I'll go a few times in succession, like...

Just asking as a survey I guess... What would your blood sugar level around 2 hours after the following - 40g of home made popcorn 1 tiny chocolate coin 2 large pieces of dark chocolate 0.5l of green tea

Thanks for the replies. I have been to the doctor now like three times and each time my urine sample comes back negative so there's nothing more to be done as he says my symptoms are too mild and vague. So what looking back is figured out what this is... I'm having bouts of frequent urination...

So for example, if I drank a large cup of green tea (which has caffeine) 500ml, would I be expected to void 500ml say an hour later or would this be more? If it's more, then where does the extra urine come from??

Your response hasn't come up?

They say that drinking coffee and tea can cause increased urine production, is there a way to actually measure this? Like say you drank 2 litres of tea would you void exactly 2 litres or more at some point? Would you total urine output for the day be increased? I'm having some slight increased...

I know an urinalysis cannot be used to properly diagnose diabetes however, these pee stick tests do detect levels of glucose and ketones in the urine sample. Say you did have high blood sugar which was uncontrolled would some levels of glucose and ketones be detected in a sample? Also I know...

It's just odd, I keep waking early still with this slight urge of wanting to pee but when I do go, like this morning for example around 545am I only voided around 200ml which is not much and I can easily hold this in during the day. So I guess this is just the urine produced overnight? That...

What symptoms did you have with the nerve damage??

Is it possible for one to have delayed bouts of urination? As in on occasion, you may pee a few times in an hour or so, even though you haven't drunk that much water in that specific time period? Could it be that an intake of coffee or tea earlier in the day could have an affect on urine...

Ok so would you say prior to diagnosis, more people have nocturia or polyuria or both?

It doesn't? I thought the whole reasoning is that because of the excess glucose, the body can't deal with it so you produce more urine. Would you produce more in the day too?

With nocturia in people who have uncontrolled blood sugars, how many times does one tend to go? And is it more to do with the amount of urine produced, rather than the number of times?

So I did go to the doctor the other day and had another urinalysis done, which again was negative. Doctor suggested possible anxiety is the cause of the slight sensation to pee that I occasionally get at night and infact upped my remeron dosage now to 30mg. I've taken this the last few days...
