How best can i use urine treat diabetes?

Don't test urine: Urine testing is too inaccurate for good diabetes management. See your doctor to get on a daily blood testing program.

Not recommended: Reflects leaking blood sugar into urine when blood sugar > 180 but damage to tissues occur with sugars <180- so urine to inaccurate to help decide best therapy.
