How well controlled is your diabetes? Once I got it under control, I stopped having to pee so much.

Kevin - I'm only up every two hours to pee compared to you... I have medication for this but since female plumbing is different than male plumbing I have no idea what would help you! IolaDWilkins said it best...talk with your doctor! I hope you can take a nap during the day since you're not getting any real sleep at night.
