I recently turned 2 years old has started potty training, but it’s literally doing a pee every 5minutes and not small amounts (normal wee amount). He doesn’t drink a huge amount of water though, so isn’t that.

Call your pediatrician and see if they feel like he should be seen.

I am NOT saying he has diabetes. But, that could be a sign. Please talk to his pediatrician

That’s a big sign of diabetes. I would highly recommend talk with the pediatrician ASAP. That’s how we figured out my 2 year old nephew was type 1.

Call pediatrician to have him seen. Just incase. Could be something simple like bladder infection or UTI. But could also be a sign of Diabetes.

Get his sugar level checked

If any of you are diabetic then you can check his blood sugar yourself and if it’s high then call pediatrician! My son did the same thing and his dad is diabetic so of course I checked and he was normal so we went in to dr anyways and they said it’s normal until they learn to hold it a little longer. 
Now he drinks water a lot and he nonstop peeing!
It could just be that he hasn’t learnt to hold it until there’s a bigger pee.
But never hurts to get a doctor’s opinion

You could check his sugar. Doubtful it would be an infection as its more rare in males and also he wouldn’t have much urine coming out. But he may just be excited about using the potty and maybe nothing wrong at all

My son would do this if he was constipated.
My son did that. Something wrong with his kidney. I agree diabetes does that as well. No it’s not normal
Could be a UTI or even Diabetes. Please take him to the doctor soon.
What else is he drinking? If he drinking sugary drinks that may be the cause. But u do need to speak to your doctor n rule everything out
Maybe he’s fascinated by the potty. Still wouldn’t hurt to run it by his Dr
He may just have a small bladder
My son did this when he first started because his bladder was so small
When my kids potty trained they would wanna go like that but they would only leave a few drops. Definatly call his doctor, to help out the doctor take a day to measure all drinks, what time he is peeing and the amount of urine.
Make him drink more water. His body is trying to get rid of toxins (unused vitamins, old bacteria) and needs to get rid of them. Could also be diabetes, although I don’t they could be tested until 4
My daughter does this when she is constipated or would confuse it between needing to poop too. The sensation is the same for her. It definitely is a good idea to check with your doctor!
My middle son was the same way and after a few months he started going at a more relaxed rate. He drinks alot of fluids to keep up with his hyperactivity, hes ADHD but I honestly think he was just getting used to recognizing the signs his body was giving him.
My daughter did this when she was first potty training. She had a tiny bladder, but she also seemed to go when she first felt the urge to pee. Since it can indicate diabetes and other issues, I would suggest seeing a pediatrician just to make sure.
I recently went through this with my 4 year old. It didn’t hurt when he peed and also wasn’t cloudy or a bad smell when he peed. We took him in just in case and he had no infection. The doctor essentially said it could be the muscles and monitor how often he was going. For example, if he’s going every 10 mins then try and get him to hold it and go every 13 minutes and continue to extend it to train the muscles. Also, he was slightly dehydrated which can cause the urge to go pee. I also read that it can be a phase and they grow out it. I would definitely recommend having a urine test just to make sure no infection or diabetes.
Monitor how many ounces he is drinking versus how many times per hour goes to the bathroom and discuss with pediatrician. May be perfectly normal. But excessive urination is a sign of childhood diabetes.

I don’t think that’s normal if it’s truly every 5 minutes what color is it and is it cloudy or clear I would call the doctor and ask.

Honestly its probably nothing but i do know a sign of diabetes is excessive urination. But i agree with others, you should talk to the child’s doctor.

This definitely needs to be referred to his doctor as soon as possible. It could be nothing, but it could be something serious like a uti, kidney infection, diabetes, or other bladder problems.

My daughter turned 2 about 3 weeks ago and we’ve been working on potty training for a month. She was peeing like every 15 minutes at first, now she’s learning to hold it up to a couple hours.
My daughters the same age and is also potty training. She does the exact same thing.
