Why are there ants in my worn underwear?
Finding ants in your worn underwear may indicate that you might be passing out more sugar in the urine. If this is true, it means that you may have diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a condition caused by insufficient production of insulin (hormone) from the pancreas and inability of the body to use insulin properly. As a result, the blood sugar level rises. When a person's blood sugar level is too high, the extra sugar will be eliminated by the kidneys resulting in sugar in the urine - this can attract ants.
Is being more thirsty and peeing more a sign of diabetes?
Having increased thirst and frequent urination can be a symptom of having higher than normal blood sugar level (i. e. diabetes mellitus). Diabetes mellitus is the most common medical cause of increased thirst and frequent urination. It is caused by insufficient production of insulin from the pancreas and inability of the body to use insulin properly.
