The proper word for diabetes is ‘Diabetes Mellitus’. When blood glucose levels rise above 20mM, the kidneys tubules can’t absorb it all so it begins to overflow into the urine.

Over a long period of time, having high blood glucose levels can have serious outcomes. Some of these include, damage to small blood vessels. These blood vessels can be connected to the retina which could lead to the person with diabetes possibly
