Glucose in urine

General information:

The urine test is a quick and easy way to check for abnormally high levels of glucose in your urine. Glucose is a type of sugar that your body requires and uses for energy. Your body converts the carbohydrates you eat into glucose.

If you have too much glucose in your body, it could be a sign of a health problem. If left untreated and your glucose levels remain high, you can develop serious complications.

The most common cause of elevated glucose levels is diabetes, a condition that affects the body's ability to manage glucose levels. It is important to monitor your glucose levels if you have already been diagnosed with diabetes or if you are showing symptoms of pre-diabetes
