No it does not change your urine. It will not cause any mistakes regarding diabetes nor will it mask diabetes.

This is so funny. I can just see the chemist tasting it and then tasting a sugar sample to compare. Yuuckk!!
3 :
Neither. Non-diabetics will never have a blood sugar so high that glucose spills into the urine no matter what they eat. Glucose should not be present in the urine, except for very rare circumstances like with severe infection and/or trauma.

I have heard of the opposite - in some people your body taste something sweet, releases insuln to use up the sugar even though there's no extra, so it uses what it finds = low blood sugar. I used to drink a lot of Diet Cola and it got to the point where 1/2 hour after finishing a glass my sugar DROPPED had to eat or pass out. This is not good because then your actually eating more and can gain weight.
