Brief Answer:
If sugar levels are normal, need not to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome here.
I have gone through your query.
Urine attracting the ants is not the basis of diagnosing Diabetes Mellitus.

If biochemical tests like blood sugar levels and H1bAc (Glycated Hemoglobin) levels including that of urine glucose levels are normal, you need not to worry at all.

I hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in you have follow up queries.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
No explanation why ants are attracted but there is nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Good to hear from you.

I don't think there's any scientific explanation, why ants are attracted towards your urine, especially in office toilet, when your sugar level is normal, Perhaps it might be related to the food you eat, you can check on it. you can enqire is it happing with all others in the office.

In any case I would not have bothered, as your sugar levels are fine.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
