It is the glucose level (the amount of it) in your blood. Added 2/17/11: Glucose, which can also be listed as GLU on a lab report, is a chemical name for SUGAR.

Blood glucose levels that stay elevated above 125 over a period of time could mean that you have a disease called diabetes.

What happens to glucose as it passes through the kidney?
Nothing happens to the glucose. It should have been stored in the kidney, but it didn't, therefore, you have an excess amount glucose in your blood. Hence, the insulin shots.
What hormone is involved in blood glucose regulation?
There are two hormones that regulate blood glucose levels. One is insulin. This horemone "carries" glucose into the cell. No glucose and the cell starves and the glucose levels get higher in the blood. The second hormone takes glucose out of liver storage and increases the glucose in the blood. These two are a feedback mechanism that keeps the levels in a normal range.

What causes elevated pancreas enzymes?
First, understand that a hormone is a type of enzyme. Insulin and glucagon are the two hormones in the pancreas. If you have too much glucose in your blood (i.e. eating a lot of carbohydrates like pasta, bread, fruits, milk, cake, and so on) then the hormone insulin will come out. Insulin decreases blood glucose. If you have to little glucose in your blood (i.e. exercising for a while without eating carbohydrates, not eating for days, etc.) then the hormone glucagon will come out. Glucagon increases the supply of glucose in your blood.
