I was a little paranoid about being diabetic since my grandmother died from it so i did a little test. I urinated on a container and then left it outside for a bit and when i came back the container was full of ants even after i rinced the container (without soap) the ants kept coming back to it. Am i diabetic?

I do not know if you are diabetic. Ants being attracted to urine is not a legitimate test for diabetes anyway. If you wanted a quick check before going to the doctor, you can buy urine test strips in any drugstore. You pee on the strip and in 15 seconds it will change color (there is a chart on the bottle of strips). Of course, don't do this right after you eat or it will look like you are diabetic.
First of all, are you having any symptoms - thirsty all the time or having to go pee a lot more than you normally did? These are the 2 biggest symptoms of diabetes. Even if you do not have these symptoms, you are obviously worried about it. So, I strongly suggest you go and see a doctor. It's pretty easy. There's a test called an A1C test. They do a blood test and it will show how your glucose (sugar) levels have been doing over the past 3 months. If you want to know really fast if it's possible, they can do a test where you come in early, (you don't eat or drink anything before you go in). They give you a small amount of sweet syrup to drink. They then test your blood after 1 hour, after 2 hours, and after 3 hours. This will show them right there how well your body is breaking down the glucose. If you fail that test, they will also do the A1C test, to be positive.
Try not to be scared. It's not like it used to be. Diabetes can be easily managed, and you can live a normal life, as long as you check your numbers during the day and take whatever meds the docs give you. Besides, you may not have it at all. I know it's scary when we lose someone we love, and it can make us worry that we have it too. I'm sorry you lost your grandmother, but try not to worry too much - and to reassure yourself, be sure by letting a doctor tell you that you don't have it. Good luck.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

No, this means nothing.
I wants saw ants COVER a urine soaked carpet after a child had an accident, even after it was cleaned up. The child did not have diabetes. The ants just like the moisture.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

well, I'm thinking that ants will probably gather on anything with moisture...but just because your grandma died with diabetes doesn't mean you will get diabetes especially if you take precautions...and watch your health...the best thing to do is go to a doctor and tell them your concerns and that diabetes runs in your family...they will know what to do...good luck.

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.

Your 'test' might sound gross to some people, but that is exactly one of the methods that was used, many many years ago if a person was suspected to have high blood sugar.
