None of that is determinate of diabetes.

Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Unexplained weight loss
Extreme hunger
Sudden vision changes
Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
Feeling very tired much of the time
Very dry skin
Sores that are slow to heal
More infections than usual.
Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pains may accompany some of these symptoms in the abrupt onset of insulin-dependent diabetes, now called type 1 diabetes

Why you got a doubt? If you got it just get your urine examined in the first instance and if it is free from sugar forget it for the present..

It sounds unlikely. Your urination is not extremely excessive. Your appetite is normal and weight is stable. Diabetes generally causes a big appetite, excessive thirst, fatigue and lack of energy often accompanied by weight loss. It sounds like you're fine. Easy enough to check however with a simple blood or urine test

That is not a pathological number of instances of urination. It's easy enough to screen for diabetes however if you are worried about it with a urine test and a simple blood test.

If you have a family history and you're of the right age, ask your doctor about it.
