I am sorry to hear that you are going through this.. doing a
24 hour urine specimen is for what they consider diabetics.. Although you may not be diabetic, they want to do a 24 hr .urine protein level because high bp can also cause diabetes... If you have protein in your urine, that mean's you are possibly diabetic.. I know this because my husband is, and he has to do 24 hr urine's all the time...
