A change in your urine colour is normally due to something completely normal, but just occasionally it may be a sign that you should
seek medical advice.
Urine gets it colour from the pigment urochrome and the colour normally ranges between light yellow and dark amber. The darker the colour of the urine, the more concentrated it will be. Because people tend to sleep for several hours without having a drink, their urine is normally darker when urinating first thing in the morning.
Darker urine during the day or evening can indicate
dehydration, meaning you're not drinking enough fluids. Drinking lots of fluids will make urine lighter. However, taking a diuretic, a
medication to get rid of excess water in the body, also makes urine turn pale, as does
diabetes insipidus, a rare type of diabetes.
You may notice that when eating certain foods such as beetroot the colour of your urine changes - though this doesn't happen in everyone. Taking certain medications can also make the colour of urine change. Vitamin supplements may change the urine to a particularly bright colour. These changes, which are harmless, are due to the pigments and compounds in the food, supplements or medication. How much the colour of your urine changes will depend on how much food you eat or supplements or medication you take, how hydrated you are and on your own body chemistry.

My urine first thing this morning was very dark. Blood sugar were 7.4 before breakfast. I confess to eating some bread last night before bed, could this be the reason???
