A member asked:

Can you tell me about glucose a. absorption is uphill in kidney, gut etc. how can this occur?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absorption: glucose is filtered in the kidney then the kidney reabsorbs most of the glucose so none appears in your urine but if you have diabetes some may appear in the urine
