Tupper Lake, NY

I have been diabetic for over thirty yrs. And have kept my A1c under six 98% of the time. So was suprised to see foam! But no protein or infection or nitrates present in my urine. At 75 yrs young my stream is not strong enough to be causing the foam. I have tried cutting back on my egg consumption. Any thoughts?

Members rallied around a question about foamy urine despite normal kidney test results, offering possible causes and encouragement. Several members suggested that mild dehydration could be a likely culprit, recommending drinking more water throughout the day, while others noted that certain supplements, medications, or autoimmune conditions can also contribute to foamy urine. A recurring theme was curiosity and self-advocacy, with members sharing that learning the difference between normal foam and protein-caused foam helped bring reassurance.

Mild dehydration can cause foamy urine.

For me - when my number is above 135 my urine tends to foam a bit.

Hello Margaret
I’m afraid that you’ll need to ask again by going to the top of your screen and tapping Q&A and it will be posted on a blue background, like your original post was.
It’s not likely to be seen here, within the original question. 🤗
