A member asked:
I was in the er last night for severe vomiting and dehydration. urinalysis showed 3+ ketones and 3+ glucose. blood glucose was 68. am i diabetic?

Not necessarily: The ketones can be a product of the bodies effort to make extra sugar from your fat while you were unable to hold down food.The glucose could be from the stress response during the illness that created the extra glucose being lost. You should follow up with testing after the illness passes to be sure..
