glycosuria = usually present in diabetics, it is the presence of glucose in urine, once your blood glucose level exceeds 180 mg/dL, glucose will start appearing in your urine. sometimes you also get glycosuria even if your blood glucose levels are normal and that is when your kidney tubules are abnormal. hyperglycemia = a clinical finding in diabetes mellitus characterized by a high glucose concentration in the blood, usually >110 mg/dL although diabetics have glucose concentrations higher than that which often exceeds 140 mg/dL even after 8 hours of fasting. both hyperglycemia and glycosuria are present in a diabetic person and these conditions can be tested in the lab
