Interesting....: Hi. I'm not sure. Assuming you've flushed and there's no menstrual blood in the toilet, sugar in the urine (which would be there each time you urinate if you're an untreated diabetic) could be what they're after. Of course maybe they're just after water. I'd say it's a good idea to have a fasting glucose measured. Any diabetes risk (obese, family history, inactivity, typical American diet, etc)?
