Normally, sugar in the urine of a healthy person is absent or found in a small amount up to 0.083 mmol / l.
During pregnancy, "traces" of glucose can be detected in the urine. This happens due to heredity (especially in late pregnancy - after 35 years), with obesity, eating high-carbohydrate foods, or with severe stress.
In the second trimester of pregnancy, physiological glucosuria is observed, which is due to the normal processes occurring in the body of a pregnant woman. It does not require drug treatment, but nutrition should be adjusted to reduce the amount of carbohydrate food in the diet of a pregnant woman (limit the intake of sweets and starchy foods).
Detection of glucose (glucosuria) is observed in diabetes, kidney and other types of diabetes.
