Should I test my Urine for Sugar?
The testing of urine for the presence or absence of sugar can be very misleading for several reasons.
Urine sugar does not give a reliable indication of current blood sugar levels
Glucose spills over in to the urine at various levels of blood glucose. This depends on the ‘kidney threshold’ for glucose.
Urine glucose gives no indication of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).
