JAKARTA - Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels, which must be watched out for because it can have an impact on complications of disease. One of the signs to watch out for is frequent urination.

Internal medicine specialist at Eka Hospital Permata Hijau, Pandu Tridana Sakti, said that frequent urinary urination which is a sign of diabetes is what happens at night.

"Usually the urine is at night, often at night," said Doctor Eka, during a media meeting in Semanggi, Jakarta, written on Tuesday, August 26, 2025.

The frequency of urination at night which is a sign of diabetes usually occurs two to three times. The range of bowel movements occurs for 1 to 4 hours at night.

Nights wake up up to 3 times to urinate. One time it's natural, maybe before bed, drink it first, urinate very much. But if you wake up at 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock you wake up, 4 o'clock you wake up (to urinate), it's not normal anymore," he explained.

According to Doctor Pandu, if you have been urinating continuously at night, you must be aware of diabetes. Especially if the urination is not accompanied by symptoms of fever, which usually occurs in ISK.

"There has to be awareness, yes, something is wrong. Plus the day is the same, you have to be vigilant," he added.

"Moreover, there is no fever, and others that sign the ISK ( urinary tract infection) must be vigilant. Try to go directly to the doctor to check," concluded Doctor Pandu.
