i eat a lowish carb diet, like 100 carbs a day and do exercise every day-running, cycling, just started powerlifting to see if i can get huuuge. so with this kind of diet and exercise i dont expect myself to be making ketones or anything. however, my urine smells like sugared cereal all the time-when i wake up and all through the day. my bg could be normal or high, it doesnt matter. is that weird? what is that?
Just a thought, are you drinking enough water?
Certain foods can make your urine smell funny too. Not sure about making it smell like sugary cereal, but tuna and asparagus both gives my urine a really strong odor. Also also like posted above…not drinking enough water may be making your urine have more of an odor.
That’s funny because ME TOO! And for long as I can remember! Have no idea why…(stronger in the morning)

Excess ketones are dumped in your urine. Ketones can vary in smell, sometimes an acetone like smell (often your breath will smell that way), but ketones can also smell sweet in your urine. You might get some ketostix and see if there is a correlation between the smell and ketones. Ketones can occur with a low carb diet and often occur after fasting (such as sleep) and exercise.
well, i did a ketone test last night. completely normal. maybe ill do one fasting tomorrow morning.
Yeah, me too. its not like im dehydrated or anything, i drink loads of water. it is usually, like yours, stronger in the morning. but i mean, its so sweet, it actually smells GOOD. just so weird.
