Recently, in the past three weeks, i've noticed that i've been using the restroom to urinate about every 2 hours. This really never happened before and i'm beginning to get a bit worried.Ok, i'm only 19, about 5 feet 4, and about 126 so pounds. i walk around alot to my classes,but i haven't been excercising as much as i did 3 weeks ago. its seems that once i stopped excercising, i went to the bathroom a bit more. so anyways...i was told that i could have symptoms of diabetes..and i was hoping anyone could help me with some information. is it possible for me to have diabetes?
Well, although frequent urination is a sign of diabetes, your symptom is not necessarily indicating this problem.
You are certainly not at any risk of developing type 2 diabetes, which most commonly occurs in overweight or obese adults, and diabetes type 1 is usually found in childhood.
Some other diabetes symptoms include constant thirst and dry mouth but these symptoms could arise from dehydration as well, not necessarily diabetes.
You could have developed a urinary tract infection but in this case, you would probably have some additional symptoms like burning in the urethra while urinating, dribbling, low abdominal pain, etc
If the problem persisted for another week or you developed some additional symptoms, you should see a doctor and see what is happening.
