Hi and welcome to HCM..
I thank you for posting your query here and I'm here to help you out..

I being a surgeon, we come across many such cases..
I read your question completely and have understood it well..


Well, please do not worry..
It's absolutely normal. Let ants do whatever.
I will tell you following things, please note..

1. You say, that your blood glucose was normal. I congratulate on this..
But what about urine sugars?
If not, don't worry..
Please get these tests done..
A. Urine Routine and microscopy
B. Urine culture.
Urine microscopy will tell us if there's any glucose present in urine which makes urine sweeter and hence ants get attracted to..

2. But again, that's not a major issue.
We can solve this problem..

3. You may need regular check up and further evaluation if glucose present.
Which I will definitely guide you..

Hope this helps you, in case you need any further assistance, please let me know..
And I hope, your report is normal.
Take care and God bless..
