More Frequently Asked Questions
When should I get a CUE test done?
Your doctor may advise a CUE if you have:

- – High blood pressure or diabetes
- – Routine health check-up requirement
Do I need to fast before the CUE test?
No. Fasting is not required.
However, it’s best to avoid excessive water intake just before giving the sample to prevent dilution.
How should I collect the urine sample?
