Hi, for the past while now my urine is a deep yellow color, has a very strong smell, and sometimes it is cloudy. After it has dried out on the toilet it looks 'sticky'.
Does anyone know what this means? I heard somewhere that this is a warning sign for diabetes?

I think it might be one of 3 things :
1.) a kidney infection
2.) early sighns of diabeties
3.) liver disease
The reason i think it is a kidney disease is because when you have a kidney infection, you urine out protien which maked your urine look clowdy and sticky.
This is what i reccomend you do :
1.) drink more water, any type of juice, just no soda!
2.) contact your doctor
3.) if it gets worse within the next couple of days, i would reccomend you go to the emergency room right away.
I wish you the best of luck!

Yes, it can be a bad sign and mean diabetes. Go to your doctor and let them do a urine test just to be sure. Your urine should not be cloudy or have an odor, and you should be careful because if it is diabetes it can affect your kidneys and your liver.
But, if it is diabetes, that doesn't mean that you would need insulin, you could be taking pills instead.
Go get checked!!

It could be a Urinary Tract Infection. If you haven't been hydrating very well, you're not clearing out the toxins in your system. If urination is painful and the urge comes very frequently, you need to see a doctor. He'll probably put you on antibiotics - definitely if it's a UTI. In the mean time, drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria. At the very least it could be that you're dehydrated.

yellow urine is not just caused by the amount of soda or soft drinks you consume it's also in the food you eat. asparagus, onions and garlic are examples and even some eggs which all contain a sulfar compound known as mercaptan. this occurs when the substance is broke down in the digestive system. so watch what you eat and always drink plenty of water. if it doesn't seem to help you might want to consult your doctor especially if you start to expierence pain which could lead to kidney infections or prostate problems

sounds like dehydration and maybe a bladder infection. i would start chugging water and keep an eye on it! could be kidneys. are the whites of your eyes yellowish? is your skin yellowish too? if it were diadetis you would be peeing and drinking all the time, your pee would look like water and with no smell. sounds like your pee is lacking water to me! go drink 4 glasses of water or sprite now - sprite has electrolytes in it.
