    Family Ties was the first show I seen it after. They also did Brooklyn Bridge and Spin City.

    guess i don't have diabetes. I've taken their urine test multiple times. They check the strip, throw it away and on to the next test.
     
  7. good deal I threw a borderline about 10 years ago and I went to get a physical at Crete..
    it passed but it was borderline and they let you know to you have to have your blood sugar checked every 6 months even though your physical is good for 1 year..
    Crete had their own way of doing things

    I thought the urine test checked for blood, protein, and sugar?

    When I took the test it was just one of those multipanel cups you can find online but they told me I had blood in my piss. They mustve tested it in a machine or something when they brought it in the back. They only gave me a year on my card for that

    Due to getting flagged for diabetes through the urine test (bad test strips) I now go and get a blood test for diabetes before I go for my physical. They’ll accept the blood test results since it’s more accurate than a urine test. I can get the blood work done for $8.00

    Something to think about if you have any worries.
