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

Oooooh...

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

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.

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.

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

Is there another way besides scooping it from the bowl? I don’t like when the dirty toilet water touches my spoon

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

I believe he was saying he loved her too. Red is the color of passion after all

Rightly chuffed, Cheers!

and your frequency (anywhere from daily to weekly is normal)

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

Hence the "poop shelf" which has taken over toilets in the last decade

In what country? I saw them in Germany decades ago, but I haven't seen one in Australia yet

Go look at a Bunnings or Reece, 90% of their models since about 2018 have been with poop shelves. Granted, that does mean it will take a while before they're everywhere, but it's only a matter of time.

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.

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

Hopefully you were in the bathroom when you relieved yourself.

I know I was.

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

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

4

Living amongst avid beet eaters, I never noticed a color change. Guess i metabolize beets particularly well, which is neat.

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.

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.

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)

You can legally send 500mL at a time, you just have to package it properly, and I believe you have to declare it.

Not for legitimate medical purposes, it wouldn't be. US Healthcare and Science are fully Metric, just like our Military.

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.

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

Dude was goddamn hilarious, legit maybe borderline genius. Apparently a real fuckin prick too, lol, but he was pretty unique. Wish he had a little longer, but he used his time well.
