Well worth raising awareness.
I recently had the check-up at the GP (Spoiler Alert: All is good). I was aware that over the past year I seemed to be weeing for Scotland. Loads more than before, to the point that even I noticed it and though it was a significant enough change to be a bit curious. Phoning the GP and making the appointment was simple enough and the blood tests results came back all clear within a couple of days. The bit where the doctor put his knee up my backside and went for a jog (I am sure he used his knee, nobody has fingers that size!!) was ok as well.
The follow-up lifestyle chat identified that, as we had moved house just over a year ago and "invested" in one of these Quooker boiling water taps, I had been drinking about 4 times as much instant coffee as before, when I had to go through the whole mega hassle of, errr, boiling a kettle. A few weeks of moderation to confirm that was the likely cause followed and normal service was resumed.
Moral to the story is not to be shy about making an appointment and pic a doctor with skinny knees.
