Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It can be or can be because of other inborn error of metabolism like fructosuria, galactosuria, and lactosuria, etc. Where other sugars like fructose, lactose, and galactose are present in urine. But at present without bothering much you may get urine for sugar test and it is very easy.
If positive should think of juvenile diabetes.
Do not come to conclusion on your own better consult your doctor.
