A chemical called glucose oxidase is commonly used to detect glucose. This enzyme reacts with glucose in the presence of oxygen, producing hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct. The level of hydrogen peroxide produced is then typically measured as an indicator of the glucose concentration in a sample.
The sticks contain enzymes (glucose oxidase and peroxidase) which react in the presense of glucose. The glucose oxidase changes glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide and the peroxidase reacts with that hydrogen peroxide to change a pigment in the stick from neutral color to positive color.
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.
Urine glucose can be tested using a urine dipstick test. This involves dipping a test strip into a urine sample and checking the color change that indicates the presence of glucose. However, it is important to note that a urine dipstick test is not as accurate as blood tests for measuring glucose levels.

If temperature is being used to verify that the urine came from the correct person the temperature of the sample is an indicator that the urine is/may not be a fresh/valid sample...if the temperature is lower than expected.
Yes, you can test your blood sugar through a urine sample. The sample is checked with a colored dipstick that measures the presence of glucose in the urine. The blood sugar test with the blood sample is more accurate and more conventional.

Normally your body will hold on to most things that it can use and will remove those that it doesn't. If you are not making enough insulin, glucose will be found in the urine. Insulin is needed to carry the glucose molecule into the cell and if it isn't doing this, the glucose will "spill over" into the urine. Testing will give the doctor an idea if you are making insulin and perhaps you might need to take it.
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.

indicator help us find out find out which molecules diffused and which didn't.... for example: starch indicator indicate starch......and.......glucose indicator indicate glucose.

Insulin affects the concentration of glucose in the urine.
