Sometimes however if your blood sugar is very elevated it can cause ketones to be present in the urine. Please talk about this with your doctor in great detail. if your doctor suspects a possible infection he might send your sample for a culture. This will help you and your doctor decide if antibiotics are needed. Otherwise I would recommend that you continue to lead a very active lifestyle with a well-balanced diet and healthy exercise at least three or four days per week. Thanks again for sharing your healthcare concerns with us as we continue to work on optimizing your general health. I wish you all the best and continued good health and quality-of-life. Dr. G
