Yea you can have glucose in your pee. its just like sugar
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.
Diabetics may have elevated levels of glucose in their urine due to their body's inability to properly regulate blood sugar levels. Detecting glucose in urine can be a simple and quick way to screen for diabetes. Normal individuals typically do not have glucose in their urine.
I'm just wondering the normal count for glucose at my age. I'm a 50 year old woman
Blood contains glucose because it is an essential energy source for cells in the body. However, the kidneys normally filter out glucose from the blood and reabsorb it back into the bloodstream, so that there is no glucose present in normal urine. The presence of glucose in urine, known as glucosuria, can be a sign of diabetes or other health conditions.
Glucose is typically reabsorbed by the kidneys and does not appear in urine under normal circumstances. However, if blood glucose levels are too high (hyperglycemia), the kidneys may not be able to reabsorb all the glucose, leading to its presence in the urine (glucosuria). This can be a sign of conditions like diabetes.
probably not because glucose is being used in your body for movement etc. so it's not going out
There should be no glucose in urine - it is too valuable to be lost from the body, so it is reabsorbed in the kidneys. Any traces of sugars in urine could be a sign of diabetes, and it would be wise to see your GP for further advice and tests.
Because normal kidneys will absorb all the sugar from the urine, unless uncontrolled diabetes puts so much glucose in the blood that the kidneys can no longer absorb it all after producing urine.
As the number of glucose carriers increase, the concentration of glucose in the urine will decrease. This is because more glucose is being reabsorbed by the kidneys back into the bloodstream, reducing the amount of glucose that gets excreted in the urine.
Insulin affects the concentration of glucose in the urine.
All of the glucose are reabsorbed from the Proximal convoluted tubule into the surrounding capillaries,so there is no no glucose in urine.
Yes. Because glucose is not usually found in urine. But greater than normal levels of glucose don't necessarily mean the diabetes. It may be a sign of Glucose release from the kidneys into the urine (renal glycosuria) or pregnancy. If so, further testing is needed.More information is on Freetxno1.com.
