Question: My husband has been observing ants attracting to the urine in the toilet. Does that mean that he has higher sugar level. Do you recommend any tests.

Brief Answer:
Test urine and blood...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is a highly non specific sign. It is difficult to predict whether or not this is something abnormal. Therefore it would be worthwhile to test his urine sample. I would suggest an urine routine and blood for fasting blood sugar and post prandial blood sugar; urine sugar and ketones along with blood sugar tests.

Regards
