Hi @broxiebear1 .
Urgent need to pee, can have numerous causes, but there are remedies. The condition doesn’t need to restrict your lifestyle. (Though I do have some understanding, as I have to drink lots of water to cope with a health condition, and that water doesn’t seem to want to stay in my system too long, so when I go out I need to know where the nearest, easily accessible loos are located).

Causes of the need for frequent urination can be such things as medication, age, health, perhaps your diabetes management, even.
It would help members give answers from the benefit of their own experiences if you let us know what type of diabetes you have, any medication, examples of your blood glucose levels and HbA1c. Also gender, as biology as well as age can give different reasons for the condition. Your profile doesn’t currently have this info.
Whatever the cause, don’t suffer in silience though. Your GP can and should be symaphetic to your symptoms and start investigations.

The term "big boned" lol repeatedly told this growing up!
I have the need to wee when going from warm to cold, this happens a lot in my house in winter as we tend to heat just two rooms living room and bathroom. I think age can do it also, plus too much tea yet water is fine!

I would add that reducing the amount of caffiene does help. I only have one coffee a day with caffiene. Rest is decaff.maybe 4 cups a day.

Hi, are you male or female? If male have you had your prostate checked?
