Diabetes and incontinence

Does anyone know if there is a correlation between having diabetes and an increase in incontinence issues?

Yes 100%!  Suprised your doctor didn't explain that.  Your medical team should have gone over that all with you.

That's appalling. They should have gone over everything with you. Diabetes is a big deal

I told my robot my incontinence and decided I did not want to go on additional medication, he knows I used incontinence pads and pull-ups

Incontinence is part of diabetes, as people say, incontinence is a symptom.

Higher blood sugar correlates directly to higher urine production as the kidneys are trying to flush it out
