Detailed explanation-1: -Pregnancy: Up to half of women have glucose in their urine at some time during pregnancy. Glucose in the urine may mean that a woman has gestational diabetes . Renal glycosuria: A rare condition in which glucose is released from the kidneys into the urine, even when blood glucose levels are normal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Results: Glycosuria is found at some point in about 50% of pregnant women; it is believed to be due to an increased glomerular filtration rate. The renal threshold for glucose is highly variable and may lead to a positive test result for glycosuria despite normal blood sugar.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycosuria in Diabetes Diabetes causes glycosuria because there either isn’t enough insulin, or your body can’t use what’s available. WIthout insulin, blood glucose levels become too high, and your kidneys can’t filter and reabsorb it. Your body gets rid of the excess through your urine.
