What is Diabetes??

in steemstem •  7 years ago 

I'd read in one article that said one of the sign that we have diabetes is when our drops of urine is surrounded by ants. Its mean that our urine still have glucose in it and it can be an indicator that in our blood, there is big amount of sugar. Cmiiw. Nice post @justincottle :)

Thanks @nadhiljanitra!

While ants surrounding your urine is a possible indicator you have diabetes, it also could mean that you ingested high amounts of sugar, and it's simply being filtered out by the kidneys. Doctors used to taste urine to determine sugar content, but nowadays it's a lot easier with blood tests. I would say that it's probably a good idea to get tested if you find ants attracted to your toilet however. Better safe than sorry!
