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

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 86 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Oooooh...

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

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 98 points 1 month ago (4 children)

guys stop smelling your own piss just flush it

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 46 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 month ago (1 children)

Well don't leave us hanging. Was it?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why next week? We need daily samples.

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 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] Whitebrow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

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.

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

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.

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 month 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 month ago

Could be artificial sweeteners.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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 50 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

like straight sugar water.

Like an Edgar suit

Fucking crazy this guy plays kingpin in the daredevil series

[–] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 45 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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 month ago (4 children)

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'm an educated man, no I will not drink piss. Ron come in here and drink this piss.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

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 month ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 10 points 1 month 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 month ago

Its just beetus. Anon is just a dummy.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Or liver failure.

Or a serious infection.
