WHAT IS DIABETES? INCREASED BLOOD GLUCOSE, RENAL THRESHOLD AND URINE SUGAR

When blood glucose exceeds about 180 mg% and crosses renal threshold, glucose is lost in urine and forms the basis of urine test used either to diagnose or control diabetes.

Kidney cannot eliminate solid material so it must be dissolved in water. The more sugar the kidney has to get rid of, the more urine must be passed to keep it dissolved. This leads to one of the main symptoms of diabetes which is “passing of too much urine” or polyurea, (from the Greek poly-much and urea-urine) too frequently to get up at night and go to bath rooms. Passing of large volume of urine causes dehydration and leads to the second main symptom ‘thirst’, the third main symptom of diabetes results from loss of water from body fat and muscles which also contributes to weight loss, lethargy, giddiness etc.

“For all practical communication Diabetes is used as a short form of diabetes mellitus (DM). DM is also discipline maintaining (DM) disease both by doctors as well as by patients.”
