Ok so you did collect it correctly. Have you tested again since that? I ask because the glucose reading is so high and yet you don't see any symptoms of diabetes.
I'm glad to hear the Chlorella treatment worked! I hadn't heard of that before. Did you find it or did somebody else suggest the Chlorella?

When he was found with high glucose in urine（Jan.2016） I tested him almost every week since then. Each time the glucose reading was "2000++++".
Since mid-May till now, I tested 5-6 times; the glucose and ketones were all negative. Does high glucose showed in test strip really mean diabetes?
He doesnt drink much water and pee very frequently. He’s full of energy, but a little lazy recently, I haven’t seen him running on his wheel for a month.
One of my friends who have kept many hamsters for years suggested me to use Chlorella. She told me Chlorella had improved glucose results of 3 diabetic hamsters which her friends had at her suggestion. I’m not sure Chlorella works for all diabetic hamsters; it’s not medicine after all.
