Urine Sugar (Random) Test Overview

What is the Urine Sugar (Random) Test?

The Urine Sugar (Random) Test measures the level of glucose in a single urine sample collected at any time of the day. Glucose is normally filtered by the kidneys and reabsorbed, so its presence in urine usually indicates elevated blood sugar levels.

This test is useful for screening and monitoring diabetes or other conditions that cause glycosuria (sugar in urine). Elevated urine glucose may be due to uncontrolled diabetes, certain kidney disorders, hormonal imbalances, or temporary spikes after high-sugar meals. Persistent glucose in urine can signal the need for further blood tests and medical evaluation.

The test is convenient because it does not require fasting and can be performed quickly, helping doctors detect potential sugar abnormalities early and initiate appropriate lifestyle changes or treatments.

Why Take the Urine Sugar (Random) Test?

This test is recommended if you:

• Have symptoms of high blood sugar, such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, or unexplained fatigue

• Are monitoring diabetes or prediabetes

• Want to screen for diabetes as part of routine health checks

• Have conditions affecting kidney function that may cause sugar leakage into urine
