2. Frequent Urination

When someone has diabetes, they feel the urge to urinate more frequently than normal. One study shows that the average person pees ‘between four and seven times in 24 hours, but people with diabetes may go a lot more.’ This even has a term, referred to by doctors as polyuria, and reason behind it is because when someone has diabetes, there is an excess of glucose in the body, which then ‘builds up in your blood.’ When this happens, your kidneys end up working overtime in order to ‘filter and absorb the excess glucose.’ Because of this, all that added up glucose ends up needing to be excreted from the body and it even brings along extra fluids from other body tissues, creating the need to pee more often than usual. Although this symptom might be more noticeable in those with Type 2 diabetes, those that are diagnosed with Type 1 can also sometimes notice an increase in urination.
