Well, we all get irritated, and what hunger is concern, well, I eat 7 times a day due to my gym diet, so I guess I'm always eating :)

Should I even bother going to a normal doctor or should I go to a urologist instead? With the amount of creatine I've consumed in my life, it's not impossible that I might get kidney stones...

Will the urologist be able to find the problem rather than the GP? I know his more specialized so I guess he/she would? Would he also be able to check my blood for diabetes?

You should see a general doctor first. A urologist won't be able to help with non-urological (ie bladder and prostatic) causes.
 
#1 priority is go to a pharmacy and get tested for diabetes. It takes 2 seconds.

You don't need to have all the symptoms to be diabetic. And yes, you can become diabetic. It's a bit of genetics but also different factors come into play. My family usually find 40+ before we get to that diabetic stage. It can be prevented though.

With any change in diet you stand a chance of developing it. If you can rule out diabetes then go see a urologist. Don't bother with a normal doc.

Diabetes is NOT something you can take too lightly

Type II Diabetes mellitus is usually without symptoms early on and that period lasts long, till they do your sugar as part of a general physical.

Interesting. You are using supplements right? Too much protein is bad for the kidneys, especially if you don't drink a lot of water after using them.

Does Dischem do this? Whom should I ask for at if they do?

so I drink quite some water while training, maybe even about 2 litre's of it. When I get home, I drink 2500ml protein shake... then maybe 3 cups of coffee an hour before bed... I go to bed at about 21:30 - 10:30 and i don't use the toilet before snuggling in

I honestly don't know what it could be...:confused:
 
Go to your GP and arrange for a blood test; those tests done at chemists, are not accurate.

You should see a doctor regardless. Sugar diabetes isn't the only hormonal/metabollic cause of what you describe and a random sugar may also not pick up your sugar diabetes either.
 
Dont play games....go to your GP and get some urine and blood test done.

then you are saying that for someone who is diabetic who tests their blood sugar is not accurately testing their blood sugar?

Just checking... because they use the same apparatus
