Prediabetes itself typically does not cause frequent urination. However, if prediabetes progresses to type 2 diabetes, you may experience symptoms such as:

  • Frequent urination (polyuria): This occurs because excess glucose in the blood pulls fluid from tissues, leading to increased urine production.
  • Increased thirst (polydipsia): Frequent urination can cause dehydration, making you feel thirstier.

If you notice these symptoms, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and management plan.
