• Why is there sugar in my urine?

In my urinalysis, the doctor found sugar in my urine, which rose a red flag for her and she's sending me to get a blood test done. Why is sugar in urine a bad thing, and what causes that?

Sugar in the urine usually means that the person has a high blood sugar, and therefore diabetes mellitus. And that is pretty important!!
Very infrequently, sugar in the urine with a normal glucose is seen, as part of a kidney problem.

Due to high blood sugar in the blood
