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?
Answer:
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.
gross. sorry.
Seems like there is some sugar in your urine. Go to a doctor and get tested.
That is the weirdest test I have ever heard of!
The only way you will know is if you do the tests in your doctors office.
ummm. (o.0)
The only reliable way to know if you are diabetic is to measure your blood glucose (sugar) content. Your doctor can help you do this.
There is no way to know if you don't ask the doc to test you. Just because the ants liked your urine doesn't mean anything.
lol ur nasty. that test is gross, just go to the doctor, their test are more hygenic
No your a crack addict which would make that not at all disgusting. No more needs to be said right now.
I have never heard of that to test for diabetes.If you are concerned go to your doctor and they can do a blood test to check for diabetes.
Ants do like sugar so it is possible.
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.
No, the ants are thirsty!!If you are really concerned about diabetes, have your doctor order a blood test for fasting glucose.
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.
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.
If your spilling that much sugar in your urine chances are you might be. Get to your doctor and be t4ested.
yes may be,so you must consult your doctor immediately. i hope if you visit this site you can get good answers about that
