GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! i havent been on here in a while, i actually being doing alot better with all my health scares . but lately i been worried about diabetes really really bad! i went to the doctor last week to check for diabetes and my doctor said everything looks fine. my A1C was 5.5 standard range is 4.8-5.6 and pre - diabetes is 5.7-6.4 and he said my test was normal. it left me kind of wondering how mine is normal when is so close to being pre diabetes?? after my test i decided to eat a king size reese cup and i been eating some snack on and off and my coffee. and since like last thursday i started to pee alot throughout the day! Its just on and off and alot of it when i do use the bathroom. im drinking water but im not drinking that much to be using the bathroom that much. i just fill kind of full down there all the time lately and something just dont feel right. do you guys think diabetes hit me that fast after my test results ? thank you so much for helping out.

Coffee is a diuretic......makes you pee a lot. So will beer!
i only drink one cup a day ,y peeing is all day long
Hi John , could just be a urine infection , take a urine sample to doc and he will sort you out . Don't think diabetes kicks in as quickly as you say . Best wishes .

How old are you ?
I am sixty seven and I have just been diagnosed Diabetes 2. In my case I can sit around and as soon as I get up The Need to go is very strong and it can be difficult to keep the pee in. I can also need to go over six times a day, it is frequent although not a great deal of pee.
I am borderline and I have a course on Friday that lasts from 9 in the morning to 5 in the evening. There are other symptoms that they look for including a urine test, bloods before they decide on if there is a problem.
Some medications we take as we get older can also cause problems, you may just have a Kidney Infection ????.
that will clear, if your GP is happy regards your health move on You want to see all the stuff they give for sufferers to read, that and the course make you wonder.

John I am the same height and I weigh 188lbs.
Weight is one of the markers as is your waste size
If you drink beer etc that will cause you to pee more
How old are you, that can be a marker as well, your height is then taken into consideration and the waste size and height are matched and there is a ratio of both taken
If you are ok change your diet, loose weight That should help

I’m 5’11. 215 pounds yes a lot of weight is around my belly! Do you think this could have changed that fast? I went to doctor around April 26 and I was tested he said it was normal my range was 5.5 and pretty diabetes was 5.7 .. I don’t know if this is a bladder infection or diabetes
I hope not I was just tested on April 26 Around that time
I’m 31 weigh 215 pounds and is 5’11 in height ! Mine is just on and off when I pee and when I do it’s usually a lot. Also I have some discomfort in testicles so it might be bladder infection or something and lower abdominal too sometimes just a lil
Another thing I forgot to mention is that my left shoulder starts to ache after I eat certain foods! Maybe giving me heart attack warnings and it goes down to elbows and fingers sometimes too
