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.
