For me, it normally ranges from " 0, 1 or 2" times.
depends how much tea and water I drank before
I go to bed.

I do remember going(felt like 100 times at night with
an urgency)last Fall.
Started out as a simple urinary infection in Oct., I
took the anti-biotics. November came, again running
to the can too much. Seems like the infection wasn't
totally gone and came back with a fury. (I was never
an antibiotic overdoser through the yrs.).

Terrible chills, throwing up. Was okay during the day. The
next morning at 2 a.m., chills and throwing up again.
Temperature of 105.2. Took some Tylenol and passed out
in our entrance. Ambulance ride. Was in ICU all day
between tons of tests and questions.. Given more anti-biotics
and went home.

The next morning, the Dr. from ER phoned me up and wanted
me back in the ER. The extended testing had showed the bacteria
had gotten into my bloodstream somehow.
.
Back in ER, 2 new types of anti-biotics by fast drip plus the
normal other drips. Stayed most of the day again 'til the Drs.
felt better. Sent home again with another type of anti-biotic for
14 days. I was a sick puppy but back to normal since Dec.
I think I mentioned this episode before.

Since you're at the Drs. every week, I know you've
had tests done for urinary infections. Right?

Moral of story: An ailment that could easily be remedied in a
non-diabetic can be deadly for a Diabetic, if it's not looked after
fast. I hope that you find the problem and feel better soon.
