Am I leaning towards or already, Type 1 Diabetic or LADA?

I just wonder how much fluids you actually drink, my daughter had a problem and the GP said she was drinking too much caffeine as she drank lots of tea. By reducing the cups of tea the problem disappeared.
I know people say that you need to stay well hydrated but the colour of your pee is usually a good guidance as to whether it is about right. I believe there is a colour chart somewhere on line.
 
There is another form of diabetes, Diabetes insipidus, that causes frequent urination and is unrelated to Type I or II. An important issue is the volume. Low volumes tend to suggest OBS (Overactive Bladder Syndrome) or a UTI. You need to contact your GP or your local Urology service may have a walk in service.

I drink 5-6 cups of fluid a day and i only drink coffee / tea 4 days per week, but this wee problem started 1 year before, as I only drinmk caffeine at work and i wasn't working for a year and that'w when the issuen started. My pee is usually light yellow, can be darker, has been lighter, but usually light yellow.

Hi. I don't pee too much volume, I've measured it. So, i thinjk that rules out D Insipidus. FDocot thoiught it was OBS, I had tablets but they didn't work. He then wasn't sure, as I don't have an urge, I can hold my bladder for a long time and don't leak. And the tests I had, were normal. That made me think of Diabetes and why I had my Fasting Insulin & Glucose done. Thanks for your input.
 
It may now be what is normal for you if all medical investigations don't reveal anything.
It may help if you keep a food diary to see if it is linked to any particular foods. I know some foods have a diuretic effect.
