I do go to the loo frequently especially at night. It does usually happen when ive had a lot to drink during the day (not alcohol!). I do know i go to the loo more than any of my friends. Also, i get leg pains at night especially. And i have been quite tired in the last couple of days, sleeping a lot.
I only wonder about it now because last night i had to get up 4 times to go to the loo and since this morning, almost every hour. And i dont think i had that much to drink yesterday!
I am prone to getting cystitis, but i havent had it in a while.
Also, a year ago i started getting heat rashes on my back in summer. Before that ive never had skin problems at all.

I am turning 29. Are all these symptoms just by coincidence similar or should i be worried? Please help!
 
If you are getting more thirsty than you used to, and consequently drinking more and urinating more then this is definitely something that you should get checked out. It could be a symptom of diabetes, but equally it could be caused by many other things (some trivial, some serious). Go see your GP, explain your concerns, and ask to be tested for diabetes. If it isn't diabetes, then you need to find out what it is. If it is then don't panic! Just be aware that you will need to make some changes to your lifestyle and start learning how to control the condition.
