Can The Frequent Urination With Yellow Potent Smelling Urine Be A Sign Of Diabetes?

Thanks for your query.
From the description provided by you, the following could be the most common possibilities:
1.Diabetes mellitus is a definite possibility as you have polyuria as a symptom. You need to get your fasting and post prandial blood glucose levels investigated. You are obese which adds a risk factor. And also if you have history of diabetes in the family.
2.The other option to rule out is a urine test should be done regardless.
3.You haven't mentioned any history of liver disease/alcohol consumption but I would like to rule out these causes since you have mentioned about your urine is dark yellow in colour.
Few blood and urine tests would be required for further evaluation which would be advised to you after an examination by a physician.
Hope this answers your query, In case of any doubts I am available for follow ups.
Wish you a good health.


Thanks for the follow up,
Diabetes on the maternal side is very significant.If you have high blood sugar on and off then you could be a border line diabetic.There is a high chance that it will become full blown diabetes in your 30's.From your history I am ruling out active liver disease for now.But I think that you should have some blood tests done esp sugar,lipid profile,liver function test,and urine test.
And last of all,you HAVE to control your weight.The gross obesity is a risk factor for heart disease in the future,with or without the diabetes.
Consult a professional about diet and exercise but you just have to do this.
You're only 25,and having so many risk factors at this young age is not acceptable.
