Glycosuria is the Result of a Hypersecretion of the Hormone

Question

Glycosuria is the result of a hypersecretion of the hormone insulin by the pancreas.

Accepted Answer

Glycosuria occurs when glucose is present in the urine due to high levels in the blood (hyperglycemia), not because of an overproduction of insulin. In fact, insulin helps to decrease blood glucose levels by facilitating its uptake by cells.
