The DNA of most bacteria is contained in a single circular molecule, called the bacterial chromosome. The chromosome, along with several proteins and RNA molecules, forms an irregularly shaped structure called the nucleoid. This sits in the cytoplasm of the bacterial cell.
Urine tests for diabetes facts. 1  Urine tests may be done in people with diabetes to evaluate severe hyperglycemia (severe high blood sugar) by looking for ketones in the urine.  Ketones are a metabolic product produced when fat is metabolized. Ketones increase when there is insufficient insulin to use glucose for energy.
A urine glucose test may be done along with more sensitive and accurate blood tests. A urine test alone is not typically used to diagnose diabetes. Other tests that are used to diagnose diabetes or monitor blood glucose include blood glucose testing and an A1C blood test.f your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your healthcare provider. Typically, urine glucose testing involves checking the color of a test strip to see if your glucose is too high.
