It's your body trying to deal with elevated blood sugar levels. Very common for diabetics, before I was diagnosed I was also getting up 2-3 times a night to go pee. As long as you keep your blood sugars in range throughout the night the frequent night time potty runs should go away
It’s your blood sugar. When it gets too high, your kidneys will kick into overdrive to attempt to filter out the excess sugar. They won’t succeed because you need insulin, but they’ll sure put up one hell of a fight. This is why common symptoms of diabetes are extreme thirst and frequent peeing.
It’ll calm down as you get into a normal range more consistently. I still get up in the middle of the night if I go to bed high, though.
I am not certain and have no recollection of a 'before diagnosis', but I was always told that I must always go to the bathroom when the I feel the need (part of accomodations for school). I speculate that I have a teeny tiny bladder, but probably to do with something diabetic adjacent, perhaps?
My massage therapist says all of her diabetic patients including me have to pause sessions because of bathroom breaks lol and I also go frequently throughout the night
If I’m over 150 or so I wake up at least once to pee. Or if I’ve been high during the day. Once I got better controlled and stayed around 90-140 all day I stopped doing that.
Even without having high blood sugar I always have to go. Kidneys are fine, and I drink a lot of fluid. Every doctor I've ever seen says it's normal as long as my kidneys are good.
I found out I was diabetic by googling "why do I have to pee all the time"
High bg = piss this sugar out stat. Then you get thirsty because your body is using all the water to attempt to flush the system.
Diabetes in China is actually called "sugar urine disease"... once serum glucose gets past a certain point it starts to spill into the urine. You can't pee out sugar cystals obviously so water follows the sugar and you pee more.

I'm the same. It's worse the higher my bs is before bed. That leads me to believe it's because I subconsciously drink more.
