Can anyone help with this problem? I was diagnosed as a diabetic type 2 about 6 years ago. I am on Metformin, but find I have to get up anything from once to 6 times a night to urinate.

I have tried to stop eating and drinking after 6-00 pm, and sometimes it works, but mostimes it don't.

Has anyone go any idea on how I could get a good nights sleep??
 
I have the same problem and my Bgs are below 6.
It was better during the 3 day non-metformin trial

Hi WD.
This nightime frequent urination has a name. It is called Nocturia.

There are MANY possible causes for this only one of which is your Diabetes. The rest can be serious so you need to see a GP ASAP and get this sorted.

Nocturia was a big symptom for me before being diagnosed T1. I would definitely go and see your GP.
