Answer 1

Bubbles in urine can be caused by the presence of excess protein in urine or it may also be something as simple as a forceful flow of urine that could make a foamy type of appearance due to excess trapping of air in urine as it contacts water. You will not be able to tell just by appearance.

This can however be established using a dipstick test for urinary protein or a simple urine analysis. For a more precise measurement, you may need to collect urine for 24 hours (microalbumin study - positive between 30 - 300 mg Albumin per day).

Diabetes maybe associated with excess protein in urine.  

Answer 2

not true.

Answer 3

Seriously???  NO!!

Answer 4

sort of, but not directly a sign of diabetes.  Bubbles or foamy urine can be a sign of urinary tract infection or excess protein in the urine from kidney disease.  Having diabetes could be related to both conditions, but you don't have to be diabetic to have either condition.
