1. Foamy urine
Under normal circumstances, your urine will be clear, pale yellow in color and will not foam or if it does foam it will disappear in a very short time.
But when your blood sugar levels are high, your urine will have a certain amount of foam and will take a long time to dissolve. According to Aboluowang, it could be due to urinary tract infections and diabetic kidney disease.
2. Special odor in urine
When blood sugar levels increase, the amount of sugar in the urine also increases. After the sugar is mixed with other substances in the urine, fermentation occurs.
If not washed off in time after urinating, the sugar in the urine will be decomposed by bacteria in the air, the smell of urine will be obvious and become unpleasant.
So if your urine has a particular smell after going to the toilet, it could be that your blood sugar levels are rising.
3. Changes in urine volume and frequency
For adults, the normal number of times to urinate during the day is usually about 4 to 6 times, and the number of times to urinate at night is about 0 to 2 times.
If blood sugar levels increase, urine volume and bowel frequency will change accordingly, total urine volume will increase and urinary frequency will also increase.
