Can a urine test for pregnancy test pick up diabetes?
Just wondering because my family always meant to have me tested but never bothered and a few months ago i had a urine test for pregnancy so if i had diabetes would it have picked it up or just tested for whatever you test for for pregnancy? They tested me in hospital btw.
No.
urine tests are NOT good for picking up diabetes. urine tests for diabetes are WAAAYYY too inaccurate. The OLD way was with urine tests, but technology has greatly improved. Only aging doctors use a urine test.
the best test now is called A1C. This measures an average of your blood dugars over the last three months. Sicne it measure an average, it takes into account the normal highs and lows that oftten cause mis-readings and bad diagnosis. And since it is an average, you do not have to fast before you take the test!
The A1C test is also fast and relatively cheap. ASK the doctor to do one, and discuss the results with you.
