Question 12 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Which results of a urine test indicate diabetes or a diabetic condition? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
presence of glucose
B
presence of protein
C
presence of red blood cells
D
presence of ketones

Explanation

Glucose in urine can indicate that blood sugar is high enough to spill into the urine, which is associated with diabetes. Ketones may also appear when the body lacks enough insulin and breaks down fat for energy, including in diabetic ketoacidosis. Protein and red blood cells can signal other urinary or kidney problems, but they do not specifically indicate diabetes.
