 [ Symptoms ] how many bathroom trips in a day are considered frequent urination  30 year old overweight woman concerned about diateties no other noticeable symptoms [ Disease ] this is an excellent question and i am glad you asked it it is also kind of a hard question to answer everyone is bathroom habits are different usually when we talk about frequent urination  we mean more frequently than is normal for you  but because type 2 diabetes specifically is a disease that can come on gradually you may not notice that your urinary frequency has increased if you are urinating every hour that probably would generally be considered frequent  if your urine has a sort of sweet smell that is another telltale sign of potential diabetes the only way to know for sure if you have type 2 diabetes is to get some lab work done do not be afraid to know the truth untreated diabetes can have long term health consequences it is better to find out early and seek early treatment than to go along in denial and damage your kidneys or lose your eyesight i would suggest you make an appointment with your primary care provider he or she can help you not only determine whether or not you have diabetes but also discuss ways you can take control of your overall health and well being wishing you all the best
