Is +1 glucose level in my urine means I have diabetes???

Answer 1

Absolutely not. Testing for glucose in the urine is an old habit and something that I wish that we no longer tested before. Prior to the existence of glucometers which have been around since 1978 testing for glucose in the urine although it was very inaccurate was all that we had other than testing the blood. It was not known at that time how inaccurate glucose in the urine was. The practice of testing for glucose in the urine of diabetics ceased by the mid 1980s. You may have 4+ glucose in the urine and a blood glucose of 100. You may have no glucose in the urine and a blood glucose of 500. 1+ glucose in the urine by itself has no meaning whatsoever. When the dipstick urine testing was being developed we kept adding tests as technology made them available. Although many are no longer considered useful they are still on the dipstick due to the American notion that more is always better. This is unfortunate as it creates confusion as in your case.

Usually they do a fasting blood test of the blood/glucose level and compare it with the blood sugar level of a special meal. There is also a hemoglobin test that determines what your sugar levels were over the past month. These are much better tests than urine tests. Better get it checked out. Diabetes can be a real killer if uncontrolled.

"Sometimes random urine samples are “dipsticked” for glucose, protein, and ketones during a physical. If glucose and/or protein or ketones are present on the dipped indicator strip, the patient has a problem that needs to be addressed. This is a screening tool, but it is not sensitive enough for monitoring." 1

Urine testing for sugar is not an accurate way to measure how much sugar is in your blood; therefore, most doctors no longer recommend it for people with diabetes. A sample of urine often is stored in your bladder for several hours before you test it. Also, because sugar does not show up in urine until it is much higher than normal in the bloodstream (180 mg/dL), urine cannot be used to check for slightly high or low blood sugar levels. 2

Based on this information cited, the result by itself would not indicate that you have diabetes. But, you should get more testing done.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 10

I don't know. I have diabetes and I use blood prick monitoring tests. I thought they were not using urine tests anymore.

Ask the doctor who gave you the test. If you are pregnant it could be gestational diabetes which will end when you deliver the child
