Why do type 1 diabetics pee a lot?

low blood sugar
B
because they are taking in too much insulin
C
too much sugar in the blood
D
side effect of the medication
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When you have diabetes, excess glucose-a type of sugar-builds up in your blood. Your kidneys are forced to work overtime to filter and absorb the excess glucose. When your kidneys can’t keep up, the excess glucose is excreted into your urine, dragging along fluids from your tissues, which makes you dehydrated.

Detailed explanation-2: -When there’s too much sugar in your blood, which happens if you have diabetes, your kidneys have to work harder to get rid of it. This forces them to make more urine. The process doesn’t stop just because you’re snoozing. Diabetes can also damage your kidneys or bladder.

Detailed explanation-3: -Frequent urination caused by diabetes can be managed by treating the condition with insulin or other medications. Lifestyle modifications such as avoiding caffeine and alcohol and limiting fluid intake two to four hours before bedtime can also help.

Detailed explanation-4: -Too much sugar in your blood is extremely taxing on the kidneys, which work to reabsorb sugar into the bloodstream. When the kidneys can’t reabsorb all the sugar correctly, urination helps eliminate much of that glucose from the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -If you are frequently experiencing an increased need to urinate, it could be a sign that your sugar levels are too high. If you have access to blood glucose testing strips, you may wish to test your sugar levels if you are urinating more often than normal.
