[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 1280616, member: 100904"] Many years ago, when I was at school, the then ancient school lab technician told me that she had been trained to test urine specimens for diabetes by tasting the sample. (Probably would have been over 100 years since she was a young lass learning her skills). If the urine tasted sweet then she would know that the sample came from someone with diabetes. Not sure how reliable that would be, but today there are much more reliable testing methods. I think colour of pee is useful to see if one is hydrated, drinking enough fluids, but how does colour of pee determine blood glucose level? [/QUOTE]
