Advice

Can anyone tell me why I would have glucose and ketones in my urine? My fasting blood test has come back hbc1 37 apparantly antibiotics I'm permanently taken can cause blood sugar problems. My Dr says I don't need a glucose tolerance test but as all my family diabetic should I ask for one? This is 3rd time I've had glucose and ketones it comes up when i do a urine test at the hospital for Cuti I'm suffering with.

Are you using a glucose meter to check your levels at home? You were thinking about that a year ago: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/advice.163243/
There are some conditions and medications that can give you a false low hba1c, like aneamia or sulfasalazine. A meter may show you what your daily blood sugar levels are like.

Wish you all the best!

Thankyou I think it maybe a good idea to get a meter like you say to see whats happening. My Dr thinks it's the antibiotics or infection I can't get rid of causing it.
