Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 20 years oldI love sweet food and really enjoy sugar. I eat a lot of sugar every day. I eat very little salt, with a maximum of a small spoonful of salt per day. Sometimes I even go without salt for one or two days. I don’t exercise much, but I’m very prone to thirst and can drink a lot of water. I can drink two pots of water a day, and my urine output is also very high. There is no history of diabetes in my family, and I don’t have the classic symptoms of diabetes (polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and weight loss).
Is it possible that eating too much sugar is related to excessive water intake and urination? 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 should not be too much sugar in the urine. If it exceeds the normal, 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. It is necessary to conduct blood sugar testing, which is the most objective method. Because many people with high blood sugar do not necessarily have typical "three more and one less" symptoms.
