So this morning I had the patience to open the article...and THANK YOU. I'm glad I did....I have been struggling with wondering why I can go all day without peeing and then I am up every 2 hours at night to pee....here is why a clip from the article:

If I could bold a word in that paragraph...I would pick "glucose". I am so afraid that I am not going to sleep that I definelty start sweating...like it said in another part....I definetly start having panic attacks...that I think my glucose.....is acting differently at night and affecting my urge to pee...actually I do actually pee when I get up every 2 hours and now I fully believe it is because of the "stress"..
Thank you.
