Hello,
Diabetes at the age of 19 is unlikely however in the presence of family history better go for tests like fasting plasma glucose followed by postprandial glucose levels.
If you are drinking too much water before sleep, It will cause frequent urination in the night. Stop it. Urine sugar will be of help only when plasma glucose levels are high.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Siddartha
