Dr. Sunil Dargar, MBBS, MD, Pathologist, New Delhi, will talk about whether the urine sugar test is reliable. In earlier days, only urine sugar test was available to detect diabetes.
The urine test may not be frequently prescribed test nowadays, but its importance still remains. Presence of acetone, ketone, microalbumin or 24-hour albumin in urine is very relevant in diabetic patients.
Dr. Dargar will explain why it is necessary to know the sugar, acetone or ketone present in diabetic patient’s urine. The enzymes which are available to detect the glucose in urine are for ketones which are very reliable and can detect even a small amount of ketones and sugar in urine. Also, the urine sugar test can help to detect intermittent proteinuria in diabetic patients.

This video is a special one and I made it specifically for World Diabetes Day, which happens every year on November 14.
Diabetes was originally diagnosed by tasting the urine of patients. In diabetics, the blood-sugar level is often extremely high and some of it spills over into the urine. So, if the urine tasted sweet, the person was likely diabetic.
This was the main way to test for diabetes for a long time, until there was a breakthrough in 1841 by Karl Trommer. From there, the technology was continually improved and today we have blood glucose meters.
I think that this technological journey is extremely interesting, and I hope that you guys agree with me after watching the video.
What I also think is cool, is that many of the breakthroughs along the way are still useful today for other applications. The Fehling’s and Benedict solutions are still routinely used in analytical chemistry, and the test strips are also useful.

Ben’s blood glucose was 3.6 mmol/L (or 65 mg/dL) in this video. Learn about hypos (low blood glucose) at http://www.diabetes.co.uk/Diabetes-and-Hypoglycaemia.html
For those not in the UK, mmol/L is the UK standard unit. mg/dL is the American unit. You can convert between the two here: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-sugar-converter.html
