Urine Glucose Results
Name: _____________
Date: __________
(Version 0.4)

Assessment of Diabetic Symptoms (to be read by HVA):
Previously diagnosed with diabetes:

__ Yes

___ No

In the last month, have you experienced frequent urination or unusual thirst? ___ Yes ___ No

Results:
We tested your urine for glucose (sugar) with a chemical reagent strip (dipstick). The result is
shown below.

Urine Glucose Result:

_______________ (Negative,
Trace, Positive)

What do Urine Glucose numbers indicate?
Normal urine samples usually contain no detectable glucose (sugar). The presence of sugar in
your urine (Trace and Positive values) may indicate a risk for diabetes. The type of test we did is
only a quick screening test. It is not accurate enough to diagnose a specific disease, but it does
identify people who should have further evaluation. Even if you have been told before that you
have diabetes, you should still share a positive test result with your health care provider.
It is important to keep in mind, however, that this type of test can be falsely positive. That is, if you
test your urine again, or have a more specific test, it may be normal. Depending on your medical
history or the results of a repeated test, your health care provider will determine if any additional
evaluations or consultation are needed.

BMI: ___________

What do body mass index results indicate?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person's weight and height. BMI is a
fairly reliable indicator of body fatness for most people. BMI does not measure body fat
directly, but research has shown that BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat, BMI is
used as a screening tool to identify possible weight problems for adults.


