[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 67882, member: 8110"] Bex Your kidneys have a point at which they will allow glucose to spill over into the urine.that's called the Renal threshold. If your renal threshold is very low, you can show urine glucose without being diabetic and if high, you may have diabetes and not show urine sugar. An average renal threshold is about 10mmol/l If someone has a renal threshold higher than this( and some people must), that could prevent glucose appearing in the urine in definite cases of diabetes. There is probably always some glucose in urine. the kidneys don't retrieve it all. I read an article on this which contends that variations in renal threshold are common [/QUOTE]
