Detailed explanation-1: -Today, while a medical practitioner might possibly agree with Mayo that a diabetic’s urine smelled like “sweet whey or milk, ‘’ she’s unlikely to sip the urine for a sugar-like taste; much easier – and safer – to test for glucose levels in the blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -Around the 5th century BC, the famous Indian surgeon Sushruta, in his work Samhita, identified diabetes, by using the term madhumeha (honey-like urine) and pointed out not only the sweet taste of the urine but also its sticky feeling to the touch and its ability to attract the ants (!).
Detailed explanation-3: -High blood sugar is a tell-tale sign of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. If you have diabetes, you may notice your pee smells sweet or fruity. This is because the body is trying to get rid of the excess blood sugar and is disposing of glucose through your urine.
