Mostly likely they are testing for keotones, and protein in the urine.

There are a multiple of tests that they can be doing, everything from ketone's

and acetone's in the urine to *god knows what*. This is a definite question for

your primary endocrinologist to answer, and one that should definitely been

addressed at the office at the time the test were taken. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO

KNOW, and never be afraid to ask.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in

silence.....as far as possible be on good terms with all persons..... Listen to

the dull and ignorant, they too have their story.

Whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it

should... Believe in God, whatever you conceive of Him. Beyond a wholesome

discipline, be gentle with yourself. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

I would guess just a unirnalysis dip stick, which covers glucose protein

etc..
