sugar and ketones in urine

[lilesMom]

Does this mean gd?
Or can it happen in preg without it?
Thanks xxx

Ketones can definitely "just happen". I always had some in precious pregnancies but passed any GD tests and no one was concerned. I'm afraid I don't know about sugars though. Did your midwife not comment?

Having glucose in your urine would usually mean they'd test you for GD. I had it from 16 weeks in my first pregnancy. They gave me an ordinary blood test which came back fine (I've since found out that it's not a reliable way to test for GD) and I was finally sent for a GTT at 28 weeks and diagnosed.
This time I didn't have any glucose in my urine but still tested positive for GD.

Thanks ladies xx
It was me doing the tests
I'm at my Drs now
But pretty sure its uti cos its only leukocytes today.
And I was testing cos I thought I had uti anyway

Hve antibiotic now for uti.
She said one off sugar could just be leaky kidneys in pregnancy.
But was doing 2 hr glucose test next week anyway
So good enough timing

Good luck on the GD test!
I have GD (and am possibly pre-diabetic with genetic factors). Its no fun, and a lot of work but well worth it for a healthy baby.
