A member asked:
Can high amounts of glucose in urine make it sticky meaning like to have both sides of urethra opening to stick together? also can diabetes cause nerve like pain in penis, testicles, groin and thighs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes to both: In diabetes, the body cannot properly control the removal of glucose from the bloodstream. Excess sugar is removed by the kidneys and flushed out in the urine. So yes, glucose in the urine can make it seem sticky. This extra glucose in the blood stream can damage nerve cells and vital organs causing shooting pains in the genital area as well as in the hands and feet.
