Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Testing for glucosuria and ketones is done 30 minutes before each meal and at bedtime. This is to ensure that the person's blood sugar levels are within normal range and that they are not experiencing diabetic ketoacidosis. Testing after meals or every time the person urinates may not provide accurate results. Morning and bedtime care may involve other tasks and may not be the best time for testing.
