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

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 83 points 1 week ago

Oooooh...

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

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 95 points 1 week ago

guys stop smelling your own piss just flush it

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.

[-] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago

Well don't leave us hanging. Was it?

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

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

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

Why next week? We need daily samples.

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Thank you, sugar in your ~~tea~~ pee!

[-] repungnant_canary@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] bollybing@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 1 week ago

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

For poop:

  • the bristol stool scale
  • and your frequency (anywhere from daily to weekly is normal and varies a lot person to person so learn your normal)
  • color can vary a lot so that's less important but here's a few common ones other than brown:
    • bright red. This is a small amount of blood and from very close to the exit so it's not great but you'll be fine. Be nicer to your butthole though: stop eating taco bell and use more lube. Maybe put some A&D on the outside until it stops doing that.
    • dark black like tar. This is what a lot of blood from very deep in you looks like. Go to the ER immediately.
    • light grey / white. This means your liver isn't putting old trash red blood cells into your poop like it's supposed to and you should go to the ER immediately and find out why not and where it's putting them instead.

For piss:

  • should be light yellow "straw" color and clear
  • not cloudy and DEFINITELY never chunky.
  • Also should not be a syrupy consistency, I've legit seen diabetics pissing and it looks like they're pouring syrup into the toilet also that's how you get horrible bladder infections bacteria love that sugar.
  • You should also pee about 4-10 times daily and it can vary a lot depending on how much you're drinking and how much you're losing other ways like sweating or vomiting.
  • if your pee turns a little dark throughout the day that's fine and you just need to drink more water.
  • if your pee suddenly turns dark brown go to the ER.
  • beets have a dye that can change pee color and that's harmless
  • some medications can change your pee color and sometimes that's fine and sometimes it's bad talk to your doctor about it but for example
    • pyridium turns it red and that's fine
    • I can never remember which b vitamin but it makes your piss super bright yellow and so people use it to help fake drug tests because it makes their urine look less dilute when casually observed. They'll be able to tell what you did if they look closer though.
[-] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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

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

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Hopefully you were in the bathroom when you relieved yourself.

I know I was.

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.

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Could be artificial sweeteners.

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

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

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

[-] Boxscape@lemmy.sdf.org 49 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

like straight sugar water.

Like an Edgar suit

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Fucking crazy this guy plays kingpin in the daredevil series

[-] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 43 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I mean, you can drink my piss if it ends up potentially beneficial to me. Any takers? I'd send you a vial of a time of day of your chosing.

[-] janus2@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

you can even make money off it if you find the right piss enthusiasts lol

(if you live in the US, don't send it via US Postal Service, as shipping bodily fluids is illegal)

Crazier still, for the wealthy, boiling down piss was how they'd measure your sugar level back in the 20s through 40s. Ugh.

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.

[-] Benjaben@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Wtf. Just finished a doc on comedian Patrice O'Neil and he makes this joke about himself lol

My Wikipedia bugged out and I got this lmao

[-] Aermis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

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

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 10 points 1 week 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.

[-] Podunk@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Its just beetus. Anon is just a dummy.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Or liver failure.

Or a serious infection.

[-] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 20 points 1 week ago
[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago
