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

[–] [email protected] 54 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Oooooh...

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

[–] [email protected] 57 points 3 months ago (4 children)

guys stop smelling your own piss just flush it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

Well don't leave us hanging. Was it?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It was not. It was rather bland actually but I do be hydrated all the time.

Need to try again next week, don’t give up so easily

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why next week? We need daily samples.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Very much this. You don't have to eat all of it, a tablespoon or two to taste is enough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

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

Hopefully you were in the bathroom when you relieved yourself.

I know I was.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Living amongst avid beet eaters, I never noticed a color change. Guess i metabolize beets particularly well, which is neat.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

My pee comes out pink. It’s startling!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

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

I've gotten top ramen before, same with apple jacks.

Imagine being a piss kink enjoyer and finding out your SO has diabetes (or is pregnant) because their piss tastes like straight sugar water.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

like straight sugar water.

Like an Edgar suit

I think that's how they used to diagnose some illnesses. Makes you wonder if some docs had a piss kink or if they were just super commited to helping people out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure there were at least a few for whom it was both lol

I saw a story like that on reddit once. Dude was going through medical school. Had a FWB who was getting into squirting. He noticed it tasted sweet and told her to get checked for diabetes. She was prediabetic if I remember correctly.

Anon can enjoy sugary beverages all day every day for the rest of their life!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

10 pounds is 10 pounds. That BMI is gonna look real good soon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Until chop off their legs. Then BMI spikes again.

My Wikipedia bugged out and I got this lmao

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why is there a picture of Stevie wonder next to maple syrup disease

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

That's my man Isaac Hayes (Chef from South Park and a musician)

His page was the last thing I was looking at on Wikipedia before I clicked the above link. Looks like the app just retained the image from the previous article.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Or liver failure.

Or a serious infection.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

But did they taste it to confirm?
