--- frequent urination
I'm concerned with the statement "probably due to type 2 diabetes"... Have you been diagnosed with T2? If so, are your BGs usually out of the normal range? If you have a yest to both, then the "cure" isn't a supplement, it's glucose control. If you haven't been diagnosed, then your doc needs to check for diabetes. Jennifer
I had a similar problem. It cleared up when I got the glucose under control.... eg. consistently under 100 mg/dL. That was not very easy to do, however, and it still takes constant testing and attention to diet and exercise. Diabetes will not be ignored. It is a killer that you have to keep tied up and in the corner, or it will get you. Will Type 2 in Virginia Beach

If it due to an enlarged prostate see a urologist and get appropriate care.

Frequent urination isn't simply a symptom of diabetes, it is symptom of *uncontrolled* diabetes. If, as you suspect, it is being caused by type two diabetes, don't you think that getting it in control would be a good starting point?
