Glycosuria may occur when the osmotic gradient in the blood exceeds that in Bowman's Capsule in the glomerular apparatus of the nephron which is the functional unit of the kidneys. Before drawing conclusions however bear in mind that there is no correlation between blood glucose and urine glucose levels. There are simply too many variables for urine glucose levels to be useful. Physicians have not checked urine glucose in diabetics since the 1980s. I wish you the very best of health and in all things may God bless.
