Insulin is a naturally occurring hormone made by the pancreas that helps our body use or store the glucose (sugar) it gets from food. For people with diabetes, either the pancreas does not make enough insulin to meet the body's requirements, or the body cannot properly use the insulin that is made.
The yellow color in normal urine comes from a substance known as urochrome. Urochrome is also known as urobilin and is the result of hemoglobin breakdown. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that enables oxygen to be taken around the body.
Urine is made as a normal result of metabolism and removal of cellular wastes. Normal urine is sterile and the color can vary depending on what your pet has recently eaten or drunk. If youâre wondering why urine is yellow, itâs due to the presence of a substance called urochrome which is excreted by the kidneys.
