New test for urinary glucose (BM33071) evaluated.

Results for urinary glucose by the Boehringer Mannheim BM33071 test pad and a hexokinase-based method agree well. The new test, which involves the glucose oxidase/peroxidase reaction, measures as little as 260 mg of glucose per liter. Acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and human hemoglobin do not interfere.
