Can someone explain why diabetes makes you pee so much?

Yes, you're on the right track! When you have diabetes, your body has difficulty processing sugar. This can lead to high blood sugar levels, which your body tries to get rid of through urination. That's why people with diabetes may need to pee more frequently, especially when their blood sugar is high.
It's also worth noting that the increased urination can lead to dehydration, which can then cause even higher blood sugar levels. It's a bit of a vicious cycle, but staying hydrated and managing blood sugar levels through a healthy lifestyle can really help.
I want to emphasize that while frequent urination is a common symptom of diabetes, it can also be a sign of other health issues. If you're experiencing this symptom, it's important to talk to a healthcare provider to rule out any other potential causes. They can help you determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
