What is a common treatment for glycosuria associated with diabetes?

Insulin therapy is a common treatment for glycosuria associated with diabetes because glycosuria typically occurs when blood glucose levels are excessively high, leading to the excretion of glucose in the urine. By providing insulin, the primary hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels, the body can effectively lower glucose levels in the bloodstream. This helps manage diabetes and reduces the occurrence of glycosuria.

In contrast, intravenous fluids are generally used for hydration and addressing electrolyte imbalances rather than directly treating elevated blood sugar levels. Antibiotics are effective for bacterial infections, which do not target the underlying problem of high glucose levels in diabetes. Diuretics can induce increased urination but would not address the underlying cause of hyperglycemia and glycosuria; instead, they may exacerbate the loss of glucose and electrolytes. Therefore, insulin therapy directly addresses the root issue of glycosuria related to diabetes management.
