Physicians have been studying urine for thousands of years. We still look at it but thankfully no longer have to taste it! Urinary symptoms may include changes in urine colour, clarity or frothiness; in volume (polyuria, anuria); frequency of urination; ease or otherwise of passing urine (for example retention); control of urination (for example incontinence); and sensations such as dysuria or awareness (or lack of it) of the need to urinate. All these aspects are relevant in diabetes.
