How many times a day do you pee

I pee maybe 6 to 7 time’s.
Not much is coming out though.
3 times is good, rest is small amount.
 
Hi Chris, I probably go 5-6 times a day depending on how much fluid I have had. This may just be normal for you unless this has increased recently. Could you possibly have a UTI, does it burn or hurt when you go, do you have any low abdominal pain? I see you are only in your thirties so unlikely to be prostate but if you are concerned, which I think you may be as you have posted, you could arrange a chat with your GP to put your mind at rest.

Before diagnosis I was going every 60 - 90 minutes during the day, and getting up 4 or 5 times a night. Since bringing my HbA1c down I go about 7 or 8 times during the day plus 2 or 3 times a night. But I have severe Diverticular Disease which puts pressure on the bladder, plus I have an abnormally small bladder, so I'm not typical.
 
Probably about 7. I used to go more when I worked just to get up, walk around and change focus. Also I thought if smokers can disappear every 40 - 45 minutes I was entitled to mini breaks!
 
Apparently if you eat Angelica you won't have to get up in the night and be disturbed. Where does one get Angelica? 🙂 I'm up at least once if not twice every night.
 
Mom used to buy the chrystallized sort to decorate cakes with - green so you made leaves for the flowers you'd fabricated, not a taste I liked very much. Haven't seen any for donkeys years.

It's a plant and the stems are the edible part. No idea if it could be grown in the UK and never heard that said about it Ditto, off I go to Google …..
 
It was a documentary I think. It showed the plant, looked a bit like Ground Elder! 🙂

I didn't get up at all last night, yay, I think because I've been low carbing as carefully as I can.
 
When I researched (onset of diagnosis) found average/non-diabetic person pees 4-6 times a day. I cannot remember source but a reliable one. If it is up to 7 then I don't feel my much higher trips to the little room are beyond the realms of this new life. I tend to have better weeks sometimes. But am also trying to drink more water, so that means--- more trips.

Google will be the place where you discover that Angelica grows wild in Northern temperate regions, including The UK.
 
Angelica, my goodness you discover new things every day, I must try it, but hiw do I get it, i.e., in what form should I take it?

If I am not good, I am running to the loo way too much. I hate it, but this doesn’t happen on low carb. I let this slip over Christmas, and bitterly regret it. I would be interested to know Drummer if you follow low carb from a book, or just finding what you should have by checking itinternet. I’m desperate to get back.

Often wondered too if anyone has low carb dessert ideas?

I am the same, at least once for each cup of tea , 6 - 8 cups a day, and then I like to go before the journey to work / home (not going on the train :O), i might go twice before bed just to be sure and if I wake in the night then I will always need it. So it's easy 12-15 times a day if not more.
Like if I know I am not going to be near a loo in the next hour I will go to be sure.
And booze then it's lots more.
 
Oh well I thought it was just me LoL seems we are all getting it!
