| renal threshold |
Normally, glucose is a precious commodity and the body goes to great lengths to keep it. The kidneys possess a natural barrier to prevent the loss of glucose. In diabetes, because of the excessive sugar in the bloodstream, this barrier is overwhelmed and sugar spills into the urine. The level at which this spilling over occurs differs from cat to cat (surprise surprise!) but it's when the blood sugar level reaches about 12 to 15. This spilling over is known as exceeding the renal threshold
