I wonder if anybody could help or give benefit of their experience.
I am type 2 diabetic, diagnosed about 9 months ago. I dont have to use insulin, but I do take metformin (1000 mg * 2 a day)
I am quite overweight, and my blood pressure is higher than normal (high normal according to doctor)
For about the last 4 to 6 weeks I have noticed bubbles or foam when I urinate. This only happens when I urinate directly into the water, and it doesn't happen if I urinate against the bowl. I get quite stressed and worry alot about any health issues (real or imagined) and so I went to my doctor. He seemed to just brush it off and said that when I had my last review (about 3 months ago) they tested for protien in urine and I had no problem. He said because I was diabetic I would see this sometimes and it would come and go.
My blood sugar is well under control (always between 5 and 6 mmol normally, and 6-8 after a meal). Since I have become diabetic I have probably eaten a lot more meat and protein as I have stopped eating so many carbs and I think this might not be good. I drink a lot (too much) of diet coke and other caffeinated drinks. I think I drink a normal amount of fluids overall. Sometimes I have some degree of a stinging sensation after I urinate, but not really bad. I am not using any special toilet cleaning products or anything different to before.
Should I be worried? Should I go back to see a doctor and ask them to do more tests on me? I am conscious that it is quite easy to put any symptoms into the internet and come away convinced that you have a serious condition, but it is making me quite stressed at the moment.
