Help me out, Jeff.
It is my son who has the diabetes, so I am not relating personally.
Did you have pain with urination?
No pain, but your urine composition is a fair indicator of bg control. When diagnosed, a very dangerous condition (ketoacidosis) is very well indicated by urine with an obnoxious, acetone-type odor.
As part of his assessment, your son’s doc will occasionally take urine samples (as well as blood A1C), to check on his kidney function. Small blood vessel damage can show up concurrently in the kidneys and eyes. In the urine, when the blood vessels aren’t optimal, protein can be passed, which is a very Red flag.
