Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 20 years old. I love sweet foods and really enjoy sugar, eating a lot of sugar every day. I eat very little salt, at most a small spoonful of salt per day, sometimes even skipping salt for one or two days. I don't exercise much, but I am prone to thirst and can drink a lot. I can drink two pots of water a day, and my urine is also very frequent. There is no history of diabetes in my family, nor do I have the classic symptoms of diabetes (polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and weight loss). I would like to ask: Is it related to frequent urination and excessive drinking due to consuming too much sugar? Can excess sugar be excreted through urine?Doctor's answer:
Hello, consuming too much sugar does not necessarily lead to diabetes. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be too much sugar in the urine. If it exceeds the normal level, it indicates that kidney function has abnormal. Suggestions: For this condition, it cannot be diagnosed solely based on the "three more and one less" symptoms. Blood sugar testing is necessary to be the most objective, because many people with high blood sugar do not necessarily have typical "three more and one less" symptoms.
