Diabetes, as the name implies, means that sugar (glucose) is excreted in the urine. This means that there is glucose in the urine, which is why it is called “diabetes”. Since the source of urine sugar is the blood, it is the increase in blood sugar that is the real problem. We can only diagnose diabetes through blood glucose measurement and understand the degree of diabetes through the level of blood glucose, while urine glucose varies depending on the amount of water drunk, the amount of urine and the time of the test.

Diabetes mellitus in its true sense is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by a chronic increase in blood glucose levels. The cause of increased blood glucose is due to the defective action and insufficient secretion of own insulin. The level and utilization of insulin plays a decisive role in diabetes, and insulin influences the metabolism of glucose. Diabetic patients also have metabolic disorders of other nutrients such as fat and protein, so they can develop a variety of other pathologies, and this results in complications of diabetes.
