Solution
The correct option is D Diabetes mellitus
- Normally the urine contains no glucose because the kidneys are able to reabsorb all of the filtered glucose back into the bloodstream.
- Glycosuria is the excretion of glucose into the urine. Glycosuria is caused by elevated blood glucose levels, most commonly due to untreated diabetes mellitus.
- Diabetes mellitus occurs due to the deficiency of insulin hormone as insulin is needed to move blood sugar into cells throughout the body.
- The resulting insulin deficiency leaves too much sugar in the blood that is excreted from the body through urine.
