After watching my trips to bathroom and water drinking she asked me to do the urine test and sure enough it was positive. I was only 22 at that time and under the belief that this was disease of the old and or the middle aged !
As has been mentioned before, in early stages , you may not have overt symptoms like I did.
They are also looking to see if you may be showing signs of diabetes or dehydration as well.
If they suspected gestational diabetes they can easily see that in your urine when you go for regular appts, I bring my pee with me to every appt and they tested mine last time and I was flagged for diabetes, I had blood tests done and go back for more testing tmrw, also for preeclampsia they test that based on your blood pressure, drink lots of water because I heard that your urine can get a cloudy look if your getting dehydrated too, if there was something major wrong they test for those thing
I had to do 3urine test that came back high sugar in my urine then I did my fasting glucose tollarance test at 10wks and came back neg everything was fine :) then the dr just asked if I wash with soap or use wipes or lotion down there (I don't ) but that can affect it too. Don't worry you also possibily didn't wipe correctly doing the clean catch.
WBCs in your urine means that you have an infection of some kind. It sounds like you have NGU, which can be caused by many things, including normal mouth bacteria from oral sex.
You should follow up with your doctor about this, and definitely about your high glucose. That can indicate diabetes, and it's VERY important that you follow up on that.
Your testing sounds fine - the tests and the process, etc.
Ketones and proteins in the urine can result from many factors, like excessive exercise, dehydration, high protein diet, kidney problems, and diabetes. Diabetes in the initial stages does not produce glucose in urine. However neither will it bring about ketones and proteins in the urine at an early stage. These are generally the signs of uncontrolled diabetes. You need to check the blood sugar fasting (8-12 hours) and two hours after a proper meal.
I have gestational diabetes and they do check with every urine test to see if you have glucose in your urine. It helps them determine if your body is having issues producing and using insulin. I will tell you glucose will show up in your urine the more sugar you eat so if you are eating a lot of Ben and jerry's that's probably what is doing it.
If i go off my diet and eat a few cookies they see the glucose in my urine.
I have diabetes type 2.
The test itself isn't bad at all.. you'll be just fine. I failed the one hour and two hour so I have to be on a strict diet which *****! No more caving into my cravings or sweet tooth. But its temporary and I'll do whatever to have a healthy baby.
The blotchy spots could be circulation as well as the cold. I think your doctor should do a more thorough test and check you for diabetes, and then you will know. They can do a test which will test the past several months to see what your average blood glucose has been. I think I would suggest that. You might want to look up the side effects of atenolol also.
Hi l am 48 and overweight but eat a healthy diet but worried about the risk of type 2 diabetes. l last had a full blood test three years ago and was normal , A few month ago my doctor gave me a finger prick test and he said it was normal , does that prove l dont have diabetes or do l need to take a full blood test where they take blood with a needle in your arm, l hate that. Also l bought a Dus 10 urine strp home test kit .
I'm 22 y.o. I've been urinating frequently in the past 2-3 years as far as I can remember (possibly longer than that). But I also noticed that I only tend do to that when I drink excessively compared to other people, so there are days where I urinate normally (which are usually the day where I drink less water).
