I have diabetes.Why do I have to pee a lot & I can’t hold my bladder?
I was diagnosed with diabetes 6 months ago. I pee a lot. The problem with me holding my bladder has been going on for 2 years and it started when I was put in the hospital for sepsis. Back then the doctor said that there was something wrong with my kidneys but never explained. I wasn’t diagnosed with diabetes then. Sometimes I can barely make it to the restroom without peeing on myself and I try to hold it.

I agree with seeing a Urologist. However, I think for insurance purposes, that is considered a specialist so you probably need to be referred to one by your regular family doctor. I suggest you start with making an appointment with your family doctor, telling them everything you've told us and asking for a referral to a specialist.

I'm not a doctor none of us are. The kidneys are to vital part of the bodies function for me to speculate as to what your problem is. Two years ago when the doctor said there was something wrong with your kidneys you should have been told to consult a Urologist. That will be my advice to seek help from a qualified Urologist.
Diabetes and the sepsis you suffered could have damaged your kidneys. Only a Urologist can make a proper diagnoses what the problem is, what can be done to correct it and if it is correctable with or without surgery.
My advice to seek out a Urologist is now very time sensitive for the longer you wait the more damage you could be doing to your kidneys and you could be a candidate for dialysis and a kidney transplant if your kidneys totally fail.
So don't wait if you don't know a Urologist call your local hospital patient referral line and they will help you.
