Diabetes is defined as hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) due to ineffective insulin signalling.

If your blood sugar is high and it doesn't decrease efficiently after meals, you have either type I or type II diabetes.

Glucose can be elevated in the blood of a diabetic person Relate this information to glucose in the urine and glucose carriers?

When blood glucose levels are high in a diabetic person, the kidneys may not be able to reabsorb all the glucose, leading to glucose spilling into the urine (glucosuria). Glucose carriers, such as SGLT2 in the kidney tubules, may become saturated, causing excess glucose to be excreted in the urine. This can be an indication of uncontrolled diabetes and a mechanism for reducing high blood glucose levels.
