Please check the total water intake and urine output

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM. Thanks for posting question.

I understand your concerns.

If the blood sugars are normal, it could be 2 things
1. Diabetes insipidus
2. Local urinary problems - urinary infection, prostatitis, incontinence etc

Kindly monitor an input output chart, that means how many liters of water you consume and urinate per day. If it is high consult an endocrinologist - who will do a test for diabetes insipidus - water deprivation test. If intake is normal - do a urine routine and ultrasound of kidney, ureter and bladder.

Hope this will clear your doubts.

If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
Regards
