Water retention ?

[Fernsmum]

Urine problems, I've noticed that I feel like I need to go wee ,but often when I get there ,only a trickle ,I thought infection ,had it tested was told no infection ,so my question is can type 2 diabetes effect urine .

OMG yes!!! As a diabetic I often have to do a few trips to the loo at night. I have the sensation of needing to pee before I go out and mostly dont need to go- it can just be psychological. I know I struggle mostly to find a toilet in local town so I always have a routine of trying before I leave the house. I'm now at the point where I think I need to go but dont.

I was told doing frequent trips to the loo even if I didnt actually wee is psychological because I have a routine ( in my mind) of going when pass it or sometimes anxiety.

Not saying its psychological with you. It could be that your not fully emptying your bladder when go so you still feel you need to go. I thought mine were water infections- often it may be the case but not always. Also, you may have thrush... this can have an impact of sensation to wee. Might not be but there are other common reasons why this may be happening.

I think I spend half the day peeing. If your sugars are not controlled well this can be a factor of frequent use of toilet.

Hope it helps! Unfortunately us diabetes do often pee more than most- 😫
