@fdixon63 the same bladder issues that other 69 year old women experience! but it all stopped when I made a few changes. 1) I evidently inherited gout. So I started on the Zazzee Tart Cherry capsules someone recommended here. It helped with the gout and a bit with the irritation/urgency to urinate. But then I switched to medicine (Allopurinol) and it helped a ton more! But now I am trying to go back to the supplement as the medicine makes me drowsy. Then I started on the Metformin for the blood sugar control. That helped a ton more! It seems that although I am INCREDIBLY disciplined with food I just can't control my blood glucose. So now on continuous Metformin. At the same time I went on the continuous Metformin i qualified for the GLP1 "BRIDGE" program. My BMI was 27.02 (qualifying is 27!) and a diagnosis of prediabetes. I lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks and all this really great stuff is happening to my body. (lost an inch off my waist, I can wake up better, I am not RAVENOUS to eat) AND my bladder returned to "normal." I am cutting down on the sugar free drinks in favor of water or thinned out "zero" drinks. I had a diagnosis of IC which seems to be resolving now. I have IBS which is not under control now because of the medicines so I am working on that. My research led me to the combined effect of the Metformin + GLP works on two mechanisms which should help my blood sugar come under control. But it TAKES TIME to be effective. So now I wait.... I tested this past week and my A1C is down! 5.8/5.9 to 5.7 over the past 6 months. and I wake up SO MUCH BETTER. I don't have to run to pee every 10 minutes in the morning and have a squirt. Now its a nice normal stream when I do go. Didn't have to give up my morning cups of coffee either!
