What will happen to density of urine when a diabetic excretes too much sugar ?

The density of urine decreases when a diabetic secretes too much sugar.

When there is excess sugar in the blood, the kidneys release extra water.

The result is a more dilute and therefore less dense urine.

The urine from a non-diabetic person usually has a density of 1.010 g/mL to 1.025 g/mL.

The urine from a diabetic person often has a density less than 1.008 g/mL.
