But getting back to the urine, thats just to check for any internal mishaps, to see if everything like urine related i guess i can say is ok. Make sure you don't have any sort of infection, if your pancreas is functioning well, etc.... =)
and just so you know, pretty much from now on almost every time that you go to the doctors for a check up or something along those iles, you'll have to pee in a cup! =/ such a pain, i know.. but gotta do what you gotta do =/ haha!

you may be having.
It can be tested for diabetes, pregnancy,
infections of many kinds & kidney problems.
To name just a few.
Most doctors offices aren't equipped for drug testing. It isn't something they do routinely.
The office I worked in wouldn't even do them for employee physicals because it was such a hassle. Those have to be packaged up in your presence (at least they used to be) so no one can come back and claim it was tampered with. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
