Benedict's reagent can be used to test for the presence of glucose in urine. Glucose found to be present in urine is an indication of diabetes. 5.0ml of Benedict's qualitative solution is mixed with 0.5ml of urine and the mixture is put in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. The results are recorded thus:\n\nno precipitate — \nGreen a trace \nyellow + \norange ++ \nred +++ \n\nOnce sugar is detected in urine, further tests have to be undergone in order to ascertain which sugar is present. Only glucose is indicative of diabetes.

If you absolutely have to have it sweet then use Splenda.  It is made from sugar but doesn't have the effects of sugar.  Even sugar subsitutes should be avoid where possible because they tend to elevate you insuline.

Try dissolving sugar in water then freezing it this is a solid solution. The solute is the sugar and the water is the solvent

Need to take several blood tests for blood sugar. Start with a fasting one (12 hr fasting). Best to consult a doctor if in doubt

Believe it or not, a spoonful of sugar works for me...  You could also try bitters.

Sugar is sucrose, a molecule composed of 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen, and 11 atoms of oxygen (C12H22O11). \nThe 1st link is just general info, the 2nd may give you an idea for an experiment.

Blood sugar tests measure how well your body is processing sugar. The results of the tests indicate whether you might have an underlying disease or condition.\n\nClick on the tabs to the left to find out what these tests are, what's normal and what levels suggest you may have prediabetes or diabetes.\n\nFasting blood sugar\n\nWhat is a fasting blood sugar test?\nA fasting blood sugar test measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in your blood after you fast for eight hours.\n\nWhat's normal?\nYour fasting blood sugar is normal if it's 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 3.88 millimoles per liter (mmol/L), to 100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L). \n\nWhat level suggests prediabetes?\nIf your fasting blood sugar is 100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L) to 125 mg/dL (6.94 mmol/L),  you may have prediabetes.\n\nWhat level suggests type 1 or type 2 diabetes?\nA fasting blood sugar value by itself doesn't help distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. But a fasting blood glucose of 126 mg/dL (7.00 mmol/L) or higher is consistent with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes when accompanied by classic symptoms of diabetes — increased thirst or hunger, frequent urination, weight loss or blurred vision. Your doctor may repeat this and other tests on a different day to confirm the diagnosis.\n\nRandom blood sugar\n\nWhat is a random blood sugar test?\nThis test measures your blood sugar without considering the last time you ate a meal, snack or beverage containing calories.\n\nWhat's normal?\nIf your random blood sugar is less than 100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L), it's normal.\n\nWhat level suggests prediabetes?\nIf your random blood sugar is greater than 100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L) but less than 199 mg/dL (11.05 mmol/L), you may have prediabetes.\n\nWhat level suggests type 1 or type 2 diabetes?\nA blood glucose of 200 mg/dL (11.11 mmol/L) or higher suggests you have either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.\n\n2-hour glucose tolerance test\n\nWhat is a 2-hour glucose tolerance test?\nA glucose tolerance test measures your body's response to sugar. You drink a liquid containing sugar and then have blood withdrawn from a vein in your arm two hours later.\n\nWhat's normal?\nA normal level is less than 140 mg/dL (7.77 mmol/L).\n\nWhat level suggests prediabetes?\nIf your two-hour glucose tolerance is 140 mg/dL (7.77 mmol/L) to 199 mg/dL (11.05 mmol/L), you may have prediabetes.\n\nWhat level suggests type 1 or type 2 diabetes?\nA blood sugar of 200 mg/dL (11.11 mmol/L) or higher two hours after you drink the sugar solution indicates you may have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Your doctor may repeat this and other tests to confirm a diagnosis.\n\nGlycated hemoglobin test\n\nWhat is a glycated hemoglobin test?\nA glycated hemoglobin test, also called a glycosylated hemoglobin test or hemoglobin A1C test, reflects your average blood sugar level for the two- to three-month period before the test. This test isn't used for diagnosis of prediabetes or diabetes. Instead, your doctor uses it to determine how well you're managing your blood sugar if you have diabetes.\n\nWhat's normal?\nThe normal range at Mayo Clinic is 4 percent to 6 percent. But this range will vary from lab to lab. Normal standards haven't been established for this test.

To detect starch just add some drops of iodine to the substance you want to test. Iodine is yellow/brown and turns dark blue/black in the presence of starch. As for fat, just rub your substance if it is a solid on a piece of paper or place a drop of it on the paper if it is a liquid. If the substance leaves a translucent stain on the paper( stain that does not evaporate) then it has fat.

It is difficult to tell with out a proper sugar level test that is performed by a doctor.\n\nHere are some signs to look for:\nFeeling hot and perspiring even when it is cool and you do not have a fever.\nHeadaches that go away when you eat something\nShaking hands (like a light palsy)\nUnable to concentrate\n\nTry eating something with a small to moderate amount of sugar in it that is balanced with a high quantity of Protein.  This will usually balance your system and prevent yo-yo cures of Hypoglycemia.  If you take in only sugar, you will feel better for a short time and then usually relaspe very quickly.\n\nIf you have it, it is a great idea to cut out sodas.  After cutting out sodas from my diet, I became nearly attack free only having slight attacks maybe a couple of times a year.  I have since added sodas back into my diet, but on a very limited amount.\n\nThe symptoms you experience will be caused by too much insulin in your system and no sugar to process for energy.  The insulin can actually start attacking tissue in attempts to release energy so it is important that you get this under control if you are found to have it.

Is when you have to monitor you blood sugar levels at home. Its a little "machine". You prick your finger and put a drop of blood on a test strip. Then you put it in the machine and it tells you what your blood sugar level is. Hope this helps.
