URINE,GLUCOSE

Blood sugar is normally absorbed by the kidneys from the blood arteries; but, in certain conditions, such as diabetes, where blood sugar levels are elevated, the kidneys are unable to fully absorb the blood sugar, and the excess is excreted in the urine. This test is typically included in regular wellness examinations and is advised by your physician if you have frequent urination, intense thirst, or tingling and numbness in your hands or feet.
