My 62 year old husband had a ua test for a new job. glucose read 1000. he is 100 lbs overweight. how serious is this? we have no health insurance. my husband will not go to a dr.

This : This means he has diabetes; the fact that he has glucose in his urine means that the diabetes is extremely out of control at this point. He is at risk for diabetes related complications, including death if he does not get treatment. Encourage him to go to your local county hospital, ;they will be able to provide service based on his income or lack thereof. I wish you all the best.

Diabetes is serious: Glucose of 1000 means diabetes . Diabetes can lead to serious health consequences such as heart disease, nerve damage, vision problems. The risk of complications is much higher if the diabetes is not treated. You should apply for assistance to get the treatment he needs.
