Question
Could sticky urine be a symptom of diabetes? My urine has been particularly sticky for the past two days, and I’m worried it might be a sign of diabetes.
Answer
Sticky urine is not necessarily a symptom of diabetes. Children of such a young age usually don’t develop diabetes unless there’s a family history. If a child hasn’t been drinking enough water lately, their urine may become particularly sticky and even change color. Don’t worry; just ensure the child drinks more water, and the symptoms should improve. If necessary, you can give the child some fire-clearing medicine.
