1. What is a urine glucose test?
Urine glucose test is defined as a test used to quantify glucose in the urine, thanks to the test results, the doctor can know whether the patient may have diabetes or other causes. glucose intolerance.
Previously, urine glucose testing was used to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes treatment. However, today most doctors will use a fingerstick blood sugar test to monitor and control diabetes instead of testing it with a urine glucose test as in the past.
There are many causes for the occurrence of glucose in the urine , but mainly according to the following two mechanisms:
First, due to too high blood glucose levels (such as diabetes), leading to the kidneys unable to retain glucose floats, so the urine will contain glucose.
Second, the amount of glucose in the blood remains at a normal level, but the kidneys are damaged so they are not able to keep the glucose in the blood, so the glucose will escape in the urine.

Positive urinary glucose can also be the result of nephrogenic diabetes. This is a rare medical condition in which the kidneys release glucose into the urine. Renal diabetes can cause high blood glucose levels even when blood glucose levels are normal. Certain medications you are taking can affect your blood and urine glucose levels. You need to tell your doctor if you are under a lot of stress, as this can also lead to a positive urine glucose.
