Without going to the doctor, how can you tell if you have diabetes?

without going to the doctor, how can you tell if you have diabetes?

Eat an entire back of sugar and see what happens

do you pee alot
do you see ants around where you pee
does your foot tingle
do you sometimes have your vision kinda fucked up
do you have tons of thirst

Take a swig of your piss bottle. If it tastes sweet you got it.

sweet urine is the most obvious giveaway

you taste your pee to see if it tastes sweet

im not completely joking

my general biology lab instructor guy was some kinda doctor from africa, and he legit told us that's how they test for diabetes where he was from.

See if your pee tastes sweet. Get a blood glucose meter and check your levels after you eat.

non-meme did this, taste like dull warm water... am i good then?

There are test strips available at any pharmacy that detect protein in urine

Piss/breath smells like acetone

Fast.
If you die from hypoglycemia you have diabetes

so can you mix it into your oatmeal or what?

Smell your pee, use a glucose testing meter on yourself if you can acquire one, look for unusual thirst or hunger and excessive urination.

Piss on a brick , if it attracted ants you gots the beetus .

Unironically taste your urine
Doctors before blood tests would taste patients' urine to test for diabetes. If you have the beetus, it will taste sweet.

Tack marks on their forearms and wrists. The sniffles. Adubdance of needles. They ask you for change.

Fuck. Is this true? Does wojack really have cancer?

That was the standard test until blood drawing techniques were developed. The full name for diabetes translates to something like sweet urine in latin

If you're being rushed to the emergency room twice a weak.

Even better, is there are ones that test for glucose and ketones, which together are a better marker. Proteinuria could be caused by a ton of other things, and isn't even a symptom until diabetes has gone uncontrolled for so long and you develop glomerulonephritis and are a lost cause.

But to add to that, you'd still be better off finding a diabetic friend and asking if you can use their glucometer. Test your fasting glucose (8 hours no food. That doesn't mean no water), and see what it is, much above 115 and you'll want to go to a doctor to get better lab testing.

Well Veeky Forums you made me sample my urine. Kinda weirded out that I did it with no hesitation. Didn't taste sweet though, so I guess I'm good. Not OP.

>ITT OP taste his own pee

Do a 72 hour water fast, check if you get into ketosis within 48 hours, if not then you may have diabetes

Are you a lab tech or something?

I was for a while.
