    For those who don’t get it, the joke is diabetes causes unmetabolized sugar to end up in your urine.

      Oooooh…

      Sometimes my piss smells like sugar, but it often smells like a lot of things. Usually piss. Sometimes asparagus.

          If it can help to alert you to a potential medical issue and then you go see the doctor; I don’t see it as bad thing.

          I’ve tasted my own piss before to see if it was sweet.

          It’s actually beneficial for controlling your health to monitor piss and poo. Not to obsessively investigate it. But just to know what’s normal for you so you know when to worry.

              Is there another way besides scooping it from the bowl? I don’t like when the dirty toilet water touches my spoon

              And Beats (by Dre) can also turn your piss red, that is cause for concern

              and your frequency (anywhere from daily to weekly is normal)

              Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

            Hence the “poop shelf” which has taken over toilets in the last decade

              In what country? I saw them in Germany decades ago, but I haven’t seen one in Australia yet

                Go look at a Bunnings or Reece, 90% of their models since about 2018 have been with poop shelves. Granted, that does mean it will take a while before they’re everywhere, but it’s only a matter of time.

        Get yo self a glucometer if you’re thinking about it, diabeetus is real obvious once you start using the right tools. Also they’re super cheap these days.

        It can be other things than diabetes as well, like an infection or liver failure.

        Mine frequently smells like whatever meat I ate, especially after eating a couple chili dogs or smoked meat.

        Everyone’s talking about the smell, but I’m thinking about the colour after I eat a bunch of beets
