If your body doesn't take the glucose from the blood into the cells by using insulin, the glucose will be lost in the urine. Since you need glucose for your cells to survive, you need the insulin. If no insulin is produced or too little is, you are a diabetic and have to take some form of artificial insulin.

What is the scientific name of sugar in the urine?
Glucose is found in the urine from time to time.
Glucose is found in glomerular filtrate but NOT in the urine because?
glucose is transported back into the bloodstream
How is the glucose absorbed and not found in the urine?
Within each cell glucose is transferred into energy through the production of ATP and creatinine. Only the waste products of these reactions can be found in the urine later on as the glucose is completely converted.
Which of the following substances is normally NOT found in urine?
If you are talking about three substances that are normally found in blood but not in urine, they are leukocytes, erythrocytes and glucose.
How is glucose found in urine?
Normally your body will hold on to most things that it can use and will remove those that it doesn't. If you are not making enough insulin, glucose will be found in the urine. Insulin is needed to carry the glucose molecule into the cell and if it isn't doing this, the glucose will "spill over" into the urine. Testing will give the doctor an idea if you are making insulin and perhaps you might need to take it.
Why sugar does not appear normally in urine?
The nephrons (filtering units in the kidney) actively reabsorb glucose from the urine. Up until a blood sugar of about 200, there should normally be no glucose found in the urine. Glucose in the urine (also called glycosuria), can be seen in diabetes and other conditions that cause an increased blood glucose. There are also some conditions that prevent the nephron from reabsorbing glucose filtered in the kidney.
When does glucose concentration in urine become zero?
The normal glucose concentration in urine ranges from 0 to 15 mg/dL. The glucose concentration in urine becomes zero when no glucose has spilled over into the urine.
What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
concentration of glucose in the urine decreases.
What causes loss of glucose in the urine?
Insulin affects the concentration of glucose in the urine.
Why isn't glucose normally found in urine?
Glucose is not in Urine because the body transforms all the extra glucose into fat and stores in the the body instead of excreting it with urine. Glucose can be seen in urine in uncontrolled diabetes millitus, when the blood glucose level is higher than the kidneys threshold of glucose reabsorbtion, then the extra glucose gets excreted with urine instead of getting reabsorbed by the kidneys.
Why was glucose excreted in urine?
glucose is excreted in urine in diabetes when the blood sugar level is beyond normal and insulin is not enough or not doing the job of transporting sugar to its target organ. The main reason is that because the kidneys cannot absorb all of the excess glucose in the body. This excess glucose spills into the urine, accompanied by water and electrolytes ions necessary for the cells to regulate the electric charge and flow of water molecules across the cell membrane. Hence this causes frequent urination to get rid of the additional water drawn into the urine and excessive thirst to trigger replacement of lost water.
Why is there no glucose in urine?
All of the glucose are reabsorbed from the Proximal convoluted tubule into the surrounding capillaries,so there is no no glucose in urine.
