Does It Signify The Presence Of Excess Glucose In Urine If Ants Drinks It?

i am 29 years old male, not a sedentary type, with good appetite,walks daily 2km at least, never skips breakfast or lunch/dinner, but always feel extremely fatigue, and sluggish, even after a heavy breakfast or lunch.I drink enough water. Suspecting diabetes, i kept 10 drops of urine and found ants gathering around the spot within 5 minutes, and drinking urine. Am i diabetic? i am 176cm, 60kg body weight, lean, donates blood every 6 months, no smoking or drinking. or can i be anemic? but what if ants drink urine? Does it signify excess glucose in urine? My grandmother and her family is diabetic, mom (age 50 now) just developed pre-diabetic.Thanks in advance. Raghul.

HI. a bit confusing for me to understand. When you are donating blood regularly , they usually check for blood sugar too. And in spite of going for ant test why can not you straight way go to the lab and do the blood and urine tests.. As there is a family history go for the proper lab tests.
