Pros: Urine drug tests depend on a mature technology and they have an extensive scientific base. The results are accurate and reliable. The costs of urine drug testing kits are lower than other types of drug test kits. Results are almost instant and there is no need for a lab or technician to conduct the drug tests. These drug tests kits are easy to store and have a long shelf life.
Cons: Depending on the person and the substance used, there is usually up to 3-30 day window of detection. Urine drug test kits are easier to adulterate than other drug test kits (Some new design tests like cup test kits are harder to manipulate and more dependable in that sense). Urine drug tests have sometimes been viewed as invasive or embarrassing by some donors. If urine test suits your requirement and want to know more information about it, check it out below

It is not perfect but it is better than nothing. The people that hate this are usually are the ones that do drugs.
However 99 times out of 100 the test is accurate.

Pros: they test your urine for signs of infection/drug use
Cons: you have to pee in a cup.
Your question isn't very clear...what type of urine test are you having?

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/BupiZ
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

Pros - it can pre-screen for problems like diabetes, poor kidney function or infection, or other renal problems, and even pregnancy. There are also microscopic things your doctor will look for as well in a typical urinalysis.
Cons - it can get you busted if you do illicit substances (which to me is also a pro) or using steroids.
