These cells are often unable to get rid of this excess glucose.

At this point, which is called the renal threshold, the excess glucose spills into the urine (glycosuria), where it can be seen in urine glucose testing.

Diabetes may be detected during a routine urine test when excess glucose is present.

If blood glucose levels are high, the body needs a way to store the excess glucose.

Such a device could also siphon excess glucose out of the blood of a diabetic, Dr. Kravitz speculated.

The enzyme is important in the process of glycolysis, enzyme levels being increased in the presence of excess glucose.

The glucose component is transported into the blood (90%) and excess glucose is converted to temporary storage in the liver - named glycogen.

The acetyl-CoA is then used for fatty acid synthesis and cholesterol synthesis, two important ways of utilizing excess glucose when its concentration is high in blood.

To induce this decrease, basal rate needs to increase to increase insulin release to absorb some of the excess glucose from the blood stream.
