The dipstick test for diabetes shows grey on the stick. but theres no grey colour on the scale, only pinks leading to purples. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a problem: If you truly had diabetes your urine test would show pink or purple so I would not be concerned about grey. If you are truly worried a more accurate test is a fasting blood glucose which your regular doctor can order
