What To Think About

• Glucose levels in urine can also be measured. Many people with diabetes have glucose in their urine. But the level in the blood must be very high before glucose can be detected in the urine. For this reason, tests for glucose in urine are not used to diagnose or monitor diabetes. For more information, see the topic Urine Test.
• If you have diabetes, you will be able to measure your blood glucose levels at home. For more information, see the topic Home Blood Glucose Test.
