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

In my opinion usually, children are fond of eating sweets once they eat too many sweets it comes in their urine which is also favorite for ants.
On other side, diabetes should be ruled out by doing tests like fasting blood sugar level and random sugar levels.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mujahid Ali
