Polyuria may occur in people suffering from diabetes. When blood glucose levels rise, glucose escapes through the urine. The kidneys excrete water in order to dilute the glucose. This excess water excretion causes a person to urinate more frequently than normal. Frequent urination is known as Polyuria.
