Hello, I have sweet-smelling urine. Is it a symptom of pre-diabetes? What should I do? Should I be worried? I am only 16 years old. Can anyone tell me what this could be? I don't have any other symptoms.

@igor Hello, sweet-smelling urine is a symptom. Urine may smell sweet if it contains extra glucose, which is a type of sugar. Diabetes is a common cause of this, but the smell of someone’s urine can also change for other reasons. Sweet-smelling urine is often the result of a person’s recent diet or diabetes but can also signal a dangerous and even life-threatening medical condition. Please consult your doctor.
