I had a high level of ketons in my urin today at my 27 week appointment. Has anyone had this happen and didnt have gestational diabetes

Ketones usually show up in urine when you are ingesting a lot of protein and vegetables too. If you don't eat a lot of carbs and sugar your body could just be utilizing everything you do ingest. It's not totally uncommon, I wouldn't be too concerned unless you actually did test positive for gestational diabetes.

My midwife said my body is using fat stores instead of using my carb intake. So that means i have an insulin problem aks gestational diabetes or i just didnt eat enough the day before aka starved myself. I had eaten just not sugar and carbs bc it was the day before my glucose test

I didn't have that.  What did your doctor say about it?
