Signs of sugar in urine.

July 14, 2008

I recently visited my Gino, she told me that there's been a trace of sugar in my urine. I've done a Glucose blood test, still waiting for the results. Will this mean i will be diabetic for the rest of my live or is it just during pregnancy? I'm 6 months along. I'm worried about it.

Almost all pregnant women will spill sugar in their urine and this is of little to no clinical significance...

The only way to determine diabetes in pregnancy is by performing a glucose tolerance test

Andriette, I had the same thing. It began with traces 6 W and then it started spilling more and more. But my Dr said the same thing as Dr Q. So, dont worry. But my Dr did insist on getting a 16 W 1 hr Glucose test which was normal inspite of the spilling.

Then week 28 I came up borderline gestational diabetes. But if its just traces with ur GTT normal, dont worry abt it. I had a whole lot coming out.
