Urine is tested for REDUCING SUBSTANCES. Glucose, fructose, etc are reducing substances. This test is non-specific. How ever, there is another test "Osazone test" that can identify the difference. In some people with uncontrolled Diabetes, urine is tested for ketone bodies. Presence of ketone bodies in urine indicates that the patient is in trouble.
