What does glucose in the urine smell like

[ailz]

I often have yeasty smelling urine - is this a glucose smell? I've read several different answers on Google - some say it's a sign of diabetes and some say a yeast infection.

Cheers

I would forget about the smell - taste works much better!

Smelly urine can also be caused by a bacterial infection, not uncommon in diabetics.

Ask the doc for a simple test (strip dipped in).

Look for cloudy urine (can be many things, but sugary urine is some times cloudy).

Have you tested your blood sugar levels ? For sugar to appear in the urine your blood sugar levels will have to have been over 10-12 mmol/L .

From a midwifery perspective, I've always found it to smell sweet rather than foul. I can usually pick up on gestational diabetes before even testing the urine.

Ancient Greeks noticed that ants were attracted to urine from people with diabetes. As it's warm and dry now, you could try pouring a bit of urine near a ant trail and seeing if they deviate from their route.
