Thanks for the info on the renal threshold. Pat gave me some info and then I realized that I actually do know what it is DUH...just exhaustion on my part today . However, it isn't tested with a ketone strip (well you can if you have the strips that test for both but if you don't, you test with a glucose strip). When Gracie had the first glucosuria from steroids in May, we were just doing the urine glucose strips because her BG was normal, although it had spiked over 300 causing the spill which cleared in a few days. I still check her urine glucose often to see how it responds to her BG and have found she usually spills at around 300. When she's below 300 for a while, her urine glucose starts to clear and it was even negative earlier this week. We also check ketone strips daily to watch the DKA so I think you are referring to two separate things.
Thank you, my dear!! All help is greatly appreciated and sometimes I need a frying pan to the head to remind me..."HEY I knew that!!" :lol: :lol:
