Is it possible to get false positive urine ketone tests?

For the past week or so I am getting small to moderate ketones when my blood sugar is high, that then go down to trace or none when it's normal. My blood sugars have been running high this past week as well with some random lows thrown in ... all around horrible!

I am on the pump and cannot figure this out. When I test blood ketones it's always 0.0, even when urine ketones are moderate. I understand there's a delay here and maybe I'm just testing too late once my blood sugar is on its way down. I am not feeling the greatest in general and I suspect I migt have some sort of minor bug. I've tried set changes, etc., raised all my pump settings which worked for a day or so and then the ketones came back along with highs. I'm about to put things up again but am having the odd low as well so am reluctant to.

Any ideas? Is it just my blood sugars being out of control or can ketones be caused by unrelated things (aside from starving/eating low carb, as I'm not doing so).
