Chief Complaint

A 50 y.o. male presents with c/o urinary frequency. He claims, "All I seem to do is go to the bathroom-I'm going to put a desk and TV in there." He says it has been going on for months and cannot recall exactly how long, but he voids every 1 to 2 hours during the day and then must get up to void through the night. He does not have any other urinary symptoms and has not noticed any change in the appearance or color of his urine, including no visible blood. Patient has a history of type 2 diabetes for the past 10 years, which he admits has been poorly controlled. He occasionally checks his blood glucose at home, and it is usually "closer to 200 than 100." He takes metformin 1000 mg BID and liraglutide daily. He pretty much eats what he chooses. "I know better, but I live alone and have bad habits." His review of systems is positive for tingling and discomfort in his feet. He tires easily but says he really does limited activity.
