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 |

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. |
