Glucose is normally completely reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron in the kidney, so it should not appear in the collecting duct of a healthy person. If glucose is present in the collecting duct, it could be a sign of kidney dysfunction, such as in the case of Diabetes mellitus where the kidneys are unable to reabsorb all the filtered glucose.

How does the kidney of a healthy person avoid losing glucose in the urine?

In a healthy person, the kidneys reabsorb glucose primarily through the proximal convoluted tubule, where specialized transporters like SGLT2 (sodium-glucose co-transporter 2) actively transport glucose back into the bloodstream. This reabsorption occurs until blood glucose levels exceed a certain threshold, known as the renal threshold for glucose, beyond which glucose may appear in the urine. The efficient functioning of these transporters ensures that glucose is conserved and not lost during urine formation. Additionally, hormonal regulation, particularly by insulin, helps maintain normal glucose levels and enhances its uptake by tissues, further reducing the likelihood of glucose loss in urine.

Shall or will?

Generally speaking, we properly use shall for the auxiliary future in the first person, and will for the other persons. When shall is used with the other persons, it conveys necessity as well as futurity. For example, "He will appear" simply means that he will appear, but "He shall appear" means "It is required that he appear at a future time."
