Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 I had a microalbumin test and got a result of 3.7, which my doctor didn't seem alarmed about. The result came late and was penciled on the blood/urine work results, so there was no indication of normal values, etc. I don't know what the 3.7 means (is this mg/dl or what?) Anyone know more and can tell me how I scored? I tested TRACE for ketones, whatever that means. I am not on atkins diet but I am losing weight at a rate of 1 or 2 lbs per week on my diet, so that may cause the ketones to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 , Anything under 30 is normal. I had mine last July that was 354 and that was done from 2,154 the previous July. Since my result was so high, the doctor was convinced I had diabetes for a long time before I was diagnosed. I hope this helps you.
