Has anyone had sugar spill into their urine?

The presence of sugar in your urine is a classic sign of diabetes.  But since you asked this question in the diabetes section, you probably already know this, neh?\n\nYou see, normally when you eat something it's broken down into a bunch of sugars and other stuff in your blood.  Your pancreas then spits out insulin which lets your cells absorb the sugar.  If for some reason you don't have enough insulin in your blood, the sugars just pass through your system and end up in your urine.\n\nIf this is proven to be the case with you, you'd have type 2 diabetes.  Most diabetes cases are actually 'type 2'.  Catching it early can help A LOT.  If it's mild enough, you may only have to change your diet slightly.  But even if it's severe, it's MUCH better to have it treated than to progress on to the real nasty side effects at the end.\n\nOr it may be a false positive on a test.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!  (  :

odds are, that your blood glucose is elevated. Once you get on metformin and get your BG back down to the 100s, the urine will return to a straw color.  When your blood sugar gets just so high, your kidneys start dumping sugar thru the urine.\nPersonal experience.   Dxd 2/06 as Type 2 by docs at MDACC with A1c of 9.5% and BG of 305.    now down to 105s.\neveryone over 55 should have a fasting Blood sugar test done one or twice a year.

if the constant high sugar intake is continued, a lot of people believe this will increase your risk of type-2 diabetes. Now, whether this happens in 10 years, 20 years or never is dependant on a lot of factors.\n\nBottom line - comsuming lots of excess sugars can play havor on your glucose/glycogen systems and stress your liver, kidneys, and pancreas and result in spikes in insulin and depressing the production of key enzymes used for energy management.

Absolutely, positively, YES!!!  I had a jagged kidney stone lodge sideways in the tube leading from my kidney to my bladder.  One morning I turned the water in the toilet bright red.  I remember saying to myself, "Uh, oh."  I'm sure that some other internal injury could cause your piss to turn red as well.  In any case, red urine wouldn't be "cool."

Home meters are rarely able to measure anything this high. but it's possible. Percy Sledge, the singer, collapsed in an airport and measured 1200+. First he'd heard he was diabetic. \n\nSuch high glucose values are not good. First, they make your blood thick and increase the liklihood of blockages in blood vessels. Second, your kidneys are almost certainly spilling glucose, and the water to go with it. So you're getting dehydrated. \n\nThird, will all that glucose in your blood, plain osmotic pressue will be pulling water out of every cell in the body. They're getting dehydrated as well. \n\nAll this derangement of the circulation, and dehydration of everything in sight is just dangerous. It can lead to unconsciousness, ie to diabetic coma. It can also lead to death or brain damage. \n\nGet that level down, and since you're starting so high, a trip to the hospital for close supervision iw clearly indicated.

I would guess some kind of food allergy before diabetes.  I am not aware of hyperglycemia causing the symptoms you described.  Having to drink fluid and pee frequently is a sign of diabetes, among others.  If DM is a concern, a fasting blood glucose level could be taken in a clinic.

Are you putting alot of sugar in these drinks? If you aren't, get checked for Diabetes. Frequent thirst is a symptom.

Glycosuria is common in both, but depends on the level. At a plasma glucose up to about 240 mg/dL (give or take a few), the Kidney reclaims all the glucose, so above that, the glucose spills into the urine and drags water with it. In IDDM, glucose easily goes above 240, but in NIDDM, it is possible that the glucose is only slightly elevated, such that glycosuria (and even polyuria) may not happen. This is why NIDDM has more complications at diagnosis - the glucose has been elevated long enough to cause DAMAGE, but not high enough to cause SYMPTOMS. In IDDM, the sugar rises high enough to cause symptoms, and quick enough to diagnose and treat BEFORE complications.\n\nMake sense?

This is a common urban myth that high schoolers love to threaten each other with. From the little research I did on the web I say it is a lie. Due to the fact that sugar is not readily soluble in gasoline it would do nothing more than clog the filter sock on the fuel pump and possibly the fuel filter. If sugar did make it to the engine it would probably do nothing more than a little sand would do once making it that far. I have never had to drop a tank and clean it out because of sugar contamination. I am not sure about sugars solubiltiy in ethyl alcohol (ethanol) though so I may be wrong on this one. Anyways If you really wanted to inconvenience someone just put water in their tank it would be a lot easier to do and a lot harder to detect. Also they would probably just blame it on the gas station.

If nothing else, it can't hurt to call your doctor about this.  The peeing a lot could be something as major as diabetes, or something as minor as you are drinking more water.  You also could have a virus.  Your doc is the only person who can really help figure these things out.\n\nI don't think the lack of sweet would cause a loss in energy and weakness. If you sugar level is going down, eat some fruit, or protein and that will give you energy.\n\nGood luck - and call your doc.

the large molecules of sugar act as osmolar bodies, causing the kidneys to produce more urine by pulling fluid from the circulation.

Well i Had to take a GT Test when i was pregnant I had to fast the night before go in to the blood lab have a sample taken then i drank a glucose drink and waited an hour had another blood sample taken waited another hour then another blood sample not very fun but that's life turns out i had gestational diabetes and as a result had my baby prematurely( Baby is fine,just stated walking) The tests show how your body copes with glucose in your bloodstream. If its too high then your body may be having trouble producing insulin

are you doing a study on the affects on your urine after eating certain substances ? i dont think that was ever done before, but i am not in the habit of sniffing urine on a regular basis.i think you need a hobby.

Get checked!  There are kits you can get that will test your blood, you prick your finger and test your blood sugar.  Don't let it go, it could lead to more serious problems!

My son is a diabetic, when his blood sugar levels are normal and not running high he urinates just as much as a non-diabetic, when his blood sugars are running high he can urinate as often as every 5, 10 or 15 minutes. High blood sugars cause diabetics to drink more hence the fact they need the toilet more.  Hope this helps!
