Do Elevated Blood Sugar Levels Cause Ants To Get Attracted To Urine?

For the last few days I have been noticing that whenever I put my clothes in the laundry bin ants come on my panty liner . What does that mean ? Is there something in my discharge or urine that attracts any s so much ? Is it connected to sugar level in my body ?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

Yes it is possible that sugar content of urine might be increased.
2 possibilities are there -
threshold of kidney for glucose is lowered
or

So go for investigations -
FBS, PP2BS
Urine sugar, albumin
Kidney function tests
USG Abdomen
Consult physician after this reports.
