Urine glucose and ketone bodies

• The patient does not need to fast.
• The patient typically collects urine into a vacuum container, then tightens the cap and peels off the sticker. Under the sticker is a hole for the included collection tube. The patient then places the collection tube on the designated hole, and the tube automatically draws in the urine. The patient brings this collection tube for analysis, and the patient disposes of the large container containing excess urine.
  If the sample submitted is insufficient, the laboratory reserves the right to cancel the analysis.
• The tube containing the collected material must be signed.
• Before collection, intimate hygiene should be maintained (the material is collected after washing the genital area, but disinfectants should not be used).

In carbohydrate deficiencies, the body's own fats are used as an energy source; their metabolic products are ketones. The importance of this test: assessing diabetes, gestational diabetes, and insufficient carbohydrate intake.
