A member asked:

I have lower back pain & urinating a dark yellow urin. diabetes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a symptom of DM: Low back pain and dark urine isn't a symptom of diabetes. Those with high blood sugars will often have frequent and large amounts of urine and feel thirsty all the time. Please see your doctor to evaluate this problem.
