No. When I am working, I may go to the bathroom more than 6 times a day (and I am diabetic). I am also drinking 64 to 86 ounces of water a day, and that is why I go so often.
However, it can indeed be a symptom of diabetes (which will go away once your sugars are under control), or bladder or UTI infection (which will go away once your infection is cured).

Frequent urination is a sign of diabetes but you could just be drinking a lot. Also it could be a bladder problem. Go see a doctor if you don't think you're drinking too much and yet you go to the bathroom a lot anyways.

Urinary frequency is a symptom of diabetes, and also of a number of other conditions, such as pregnancy. Six to eight times a day is not unusual. Ten or more, you might want to check with a physician IF there're other signs, such as very foul-smelling urine or if it is cloudy, or an odd color. If it is accompanied by pain upon urination - then do check with a physician. It may also be something as simple as a bladder infection, which is not unusual in women and which can be readily treated. Don't fear a trip to the doctor, fear what could happen if you don't go to the doctor - i.e. you get very, very sick.

First.. there is no "normal" bathroom usage. If you're drinking water like 7-8 glasses like you're supposed to, then you're going to go to the bathroom more than 7 times a day. To be diabetic you're going to have more symptoms than that. Like EXCESSIVE thirst. Weight loss, without trying. Dizziness, blurred vision, there's going to be more symptoms than just going to the bathroom. If it's a bladder problem then it's going to hurt before, during or after you go. Then you'll be going multiple times but not reallyj "going " alot. Like the amount of urine is little.
Don't panic, and check what you're drinking.

Yes, it's true that it's a possibility, but diabetes isn't the only health issue that could cause that symptom. You need to see your doctor. It could be a bladder infection, overactive bladder, very good hydration, etc.

If this is a recent problem, it could be that you just have a urinary tract infection which could be cleared up with some antibiotics. You should definitely see your doctor and he can test you to find out for sure. It is also a symptom of Diabetes, but the only way to know anything for sure is to see your doctor. Good luck!!

Yes, frequent urination could be a sign of diabetes (or a bunch of other things, including pregnancy). You really should go to your doctor and have it checked out.

I think diabetics go more like 10 times a day.
But just for your peace of mind---and to seek treatment, if necessary, see your dr.

Before giving yourself ulcers by reading from "Yahoo doctors" and their (mis)diagnosis, I suggest you go to your family doctor for an annual checkup and tell him your concerns. He'll run a urine test to see if there is anything wrong.

you're probobly just drinking a lot. if you're completely hydrated as much as you should be, you should have to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes!
