Excess glucose in the urine could be the reason . Get tested for the level of sugar in the blood and the level of ketones in the urine.

Do you take any supplements?

Hi joy12

Not a nice subject to be considering first thing in the morning, really your urine should be just about clear (very light straw). Firstly you are probably dehydrated which can be due to an overnight abstinence of fluids, so keep up the fluid intake. Suggest you also have a look at the NHS web site to see if you can get any pointers from there and also seriously consider making an appointment to see your local practitioner nurse or GP to get a professional opinion

Sounds like excess glucose in your urine and, therefore, high blood sugar. This could be a sign of uncontrolled Diabetes. Get yourself tested.

Not what you're looking for?
