Do You Urinate a Lot? It Might Be Diabetes

Frequent urination is often associated with diabetes, but many people do not realize the disease can also damage the nerves that control the bladder over time. Poorly controlled blood sugar may cause urinary urgency and frequent trips to the bathroom early on, while long-term diabetes can leave the bladder unable to empty properly. Kirtly Jones, MD, talks to urologist Sara Lenherr, MD, about how diabetes affects bladder function, the tests used to diagnose diabetic bladder dysfunction, and the treatment options available.
