[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 118280, member: 8110"] Everybody has what is called a "renal threshold" that's the Bg level at which glucose spills over. it's usually recovered by the kidneys, but if there's too much they can't. The renal threshold for most people is around 10mmol/l Thus up to that BG level, it doesn't show in the urine. You've discovered the reason why urine testing is of doubtful value in controlling diabetes. It used to be all there was, but we've moved on. Hana [/QUOTE]
