As far as I'm aware, you only get sugar in your urine when you're really high, I mean like over 300. If you have untreated diabetes, you WILL have sugar in your urine, I mean, that's why it's called Diabetes Mellitus (Sugary Fountain).

JTNBC's numbers ARE elevated, so I suppose you can argue that diabetes is present, but I still think that a urine test, as well as the blood tests, should be performed. Ketones and urinary glucose are still the best determinant of diabetes because they'll only be there if something is genuinely wrong with you.
