My urine is sweet. Do i have diabetes?

Answer 1

What you have is a mental problem. You should run, not walk, to your nearest therapist!

Answer 2

Most likely yes.

There are few sweet tasting substances in the body which might appear in the urine. Glucose is by far the most likely of these.

Glucose is important as a fuel and is the most common sort of fuel in food. Kidneys go to considerable trouble to make sure none leaks out into the urine. But it's possible for a kidney to spill glucose into urine without diabetes, just rare.

So the chance that something else caused the sweet taste is pretty low. If you are diabetic and that's the reason your urine is sweet, then it's clear you don't have a mild case. Your blood glucose level is at or above the renal threshold and that's usually about twice as high as normal blood glucose levels. That's not something to be sloppy about. Have your blood glucose level checked promptly, probably by your doctor at his/her office.

If you're diabetic (likely Type 2) and seriously so, you should start taking care to get that blood glucose level down. It may require pills (a couple of possible types, in various brands), or it may just require more attention to what you eat (how much, when, what) or your exercise (how much, when) or weight (lose some of it). Probably your doctor will try for the diet, exercise, weight thing first.

Don't put it off... It's a serious issue and the longer you ignore it, the more trouble you're likely to have with diabetes. Get on it and without delay.

Answer 4

DIABETES--DEFINITION
Diabetes mellitus is impaired insulin secretion by the pancreas and variable degrees of peripheral insulin resistance leading to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Early symptoms are related to hyperglycemia and include polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyphagia (excessive hunger and abnormally large intake of solids by mouth), and polyuria (excessive urination). Later complications include vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy, and predisposition to infection. Diagnosis is by measuring plasma glucose (blood sugar). Treatment is diet, exercise, and drugs that reduce glucose levels, including insulin and oral antihyperglycemic drugs. Prognosis varies with degree of glucose control.

Hyperglycemia is high blood glucose. Symptoms are--
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Extreme hunger
Unusual weight loss
Increased fatigue
Irritability
Blurry vision


Hypoglycemia is low blood glucose. Symptoms are--
Sweating and palpitations
Pale skin
Hunger - to the extreme
Trembling
Irritability
Anxiety/aggression
Poor concentration
Feelings of faintness/dizziness
Loss of consciousness
Death


Normal blood glucose ranges from 70-110. Anything below 70...hypo..anything above 110..hyper.
In the US, about 90% of diabetics are type II and 10% are type I.

Answer 5

Yup! What the heck are you tasting your urine for anyway? You can't tell if you have diabetes that way. You have to be tested for it. Usually it is hereditary anyway. Does anyone in your family have it? If so, get tested. Another sign can be if you are thirsty all the time.(Not for urine though).
