Can The Blood Test To Determine Diabetes Reflect Drug In System?

Hello I need to know this as soon as possible. I smoked weed thursday and a lil bit on wednesday, I'm not really a smoker just do it like once a week or once every two weeks. And today I went to the doctor and they took out blood and urine from me, But it is not a drug test I think. So my question is let us say the blood they took out was to see diabetes or etc. would it still come out that I used drugs or w.e?

Hi,

No, tests conducted on blood and urine for diabetes will not be able to detect presence of drugs. Both urine and blood would need to be tested with tests specific for drugs, if one wishes to detect the presence of drugs. Routine blood tests do not test for drugs. So I think there is no need for you to worry.

Best wishes.
