Protein in Urine?
Attempting to get a DOT cerification for driving. The Doctor said my urine test showed protien. I have blood pressure issues and I am taking meds for that. She said that sometimes with HBP you will have protien in your urine.
What other situations will cause this?

Well with a simple blood sugar test you could confirm or rule out the diabetes....
Surely you must know a diabetic friend with a meter who would be willing to test you... And explain the results...
By the way, the test strips are a buck each. Ya know what most diabetics crave? Chocolate. The kind with no sugar. If you ever wanted to be a hero... This chocolate is usually sold at specialty shops or drug stores.
A lot of the other things have simple tests too. Now if you knew a friend who was a nurse....

Diabetes can cause protein in the urine. Check your sugar level as well!
