It can result from uncontrolled diabetes or renal glycosuria, where the kidneys don't properly reabsorb glucose.

Glycosuria is typically diagnosed with a urine test that detects glucose levels.

Glycosuria often occurs in diabetes mellitus when blood glucose levels exceed the renal threshold.

Glycosuria can also occur during pregnancy, after a high-carb meal, or in genetic disorders.
