Summary Introduction

To explain:

The occurrence of diabetes in patients results in the high levels of glucose in the urine.

Introduction:

The occurrence of diabetes in patients causes the increase in the levels of glucose in the body. This is caused due to the insensitivity of cells towars tinsulin or the lack of production of the hormone insulin in the body. The hormone insulin converts the excess glucose in the blood to the glycogen which is stored in the liver. The elevated levels of the glucose in the blood causes the excretion of it in the urine. The excess glucose molecules pass through the membrane of the tubules in the nephrons and get excreted in the urine.
