Avatar f tn I wish I could be of more assistance. Without knowing the type of doctor your little girl is seeing, what he/she suspects, I can only suggest you see a Pediatric Endocrinologist, some one who specializes with the Endocrine System where diabetes is better understood. There's a lot of missing information in your post making it difficult to answer. You failed to mention what "some tests show good signs and other not so good.
Avatar n tn But I read that the urine reading can lag 2 to 4 hours behind what ur body is actually doing. Later in the night, after eating, I used ketostix reagent strips for ketone testing, and it was negative. All tests since have also been negative. Any feedback would be great. Like I said the Dr said its PROBABLY not significant and to check again another time. But I cant help but worry. Im just curious how serious this could be. Arte my Kidneys likely damaged?
1756129 tn?1317374033 If you are overweight, or at risk for gestational diabetes, a high ketone reading may be addressed by doing a glucose tolerance test, where they will make sure your body is processing glucose correctly. If it turns out that you DO have a risk for gestational diabetes, usually a special diet can bring it under control....and in some rare cases you may require insulin shots and blood glucose monitors.
Avatar n tn Direct clinical examination and diagnostic tests like ECG, CXR and blood tests can be done to determine the underlying cause. Take care and do keep us posted.

Avatar f tn 8 mmol/l) and high leukocyte esterase (75WBC/uL) . Ketone, blood, nitrate were negative and ph, Gravity, and alb / creat ratio is normal. All the blood tests show high fasting cholesterol but are otherwise all normal ( normal blood glucose, immunology, immunofixation, chemistry, hematology) I don't have any of the symptoms of a UTI, I almost never have to pee. What's wrong with me?
Avatar n tn The reason for ketosis is due to not enough glucose and so the body has to break down stored fat and convert it into energy instead. Metabolizing fat raises blood ketone levels therefore leading to ketosis. Ketosis can occur with type 1 diabetes, alcoholism, starvation, and with a low carbohydrate, high fat/protein diet.
Avatar m tn Male, 40, married 8 years - past 2 months I have suffered from urinary frequency. The feeling that I have to urinate, sometimes within 15-20 minutes of urination. Generally this gets worse as the day goes on, mornings it isn't really there, but the afternoon it can be more noticeable - you could say the symptoms have been there more often than not over the past 2 months but they are transient. Some days no symptoms at all. No burning or pain with urination, no discharge.
Dog The Raspberry Ketone apparently aids to boost the adiponectin hormone in the body, which helps to regulate blood glucose and weight. It balances the sugar levels in the body and restrains from gaining weight. Thereby, helping to shed weight, increasing metabolism, reducing the belly fat, consumes calories faster and provides total satisfaction with its effective results. after reading and showing the show I buy a bottle from http://ketoneraspberry.tripod.co.uk/ I think it work or not confused.
1327535 tn?1295227611 A fruity odor is characteristic of the preswense of ketone bodies, which are produced when blood glucose levels are abnormally high and there is insufficient insulin available. Thus, as waverider suggested, you require a complete diabetic evaluation. Insofar as your hernia, you need to find a physician who is familiar with SIS, otherwise known as "small intestine submucosa", which is undergoing FDA trials and, if used, should completely solve your hernia issue.
Avatar m tn However, intense exercise can have the opposite effect and actually increase your blood glucose levels. The body recognizes intense exercise as a stress and releases stress hormones that tells your body to increase available blood glucose to fuel your muscles. If your glucose levels exceed normal levels discuss with your doctor medication or medication adjustment.
Avatar n tn Since then I have a 3hr blood glucose test to make sure it was good and it was. We dont know what is going on yet. I have looked and looked on the internet for some kind of idea or answer... all I can find is 1) uncontrolled diabetes... not it. 2) pregnancy... nope. 3) meningitis... no fever! 4) kidney disease or damage... my kidney function test came back normal. 5) tumors... I go backk in Tuesday to recheck my urine glucose and we will go from there... probably will move onto ultrasounds.
Avatar f tn I think you should absolutely go to a healthcare professional with your concerns! That being said, maybe your friend could let you use her sister's monitor to check your blood glucose? If not, then your local pharmacy should have ketone/glucose sticks. You don't need a prescription to purchase them and all you do is (pardon my directness) pee in a cup, quickly dip it in, count 15 seconds, and compare the color of the swatch to the bottle.
Avatar n tn If I understand it properly, it is due to lack of insulin or glucose in your body and then the fats start burning producing acetonic sun-products which I think it is NOT healthy.
Avatar m tn Once i went to the emergency, they took my glucose and as the result was 120 ( and they told that i can be pre diabetes). My reason to going to emergency room was high blood pressure ( not high sugar in the blood). But i ate 1 banana before giving the blood test, i was waited in emergency for 5 hours and was extremely tired and hungry. ( but i`m not sure). ( Not Fasting) The next time when i was giving Blood Test i had blood sugar 95.
Avatar f tn I cut my toe nails short and the next day both my feet felt numb. Movement is find.
Avatar m tn You can, in the meantime if you wish, purchase urine ketone sticks and a glucose meter from your local pharmacy and check on your own. If the urine sticks are positive and your glucose levels are high, it strongly suggests diabetes, but you may still need confirmatory testing from your doctor. Please contact him/her as soon as possible. And do stay hydrated with water .
