And that's exactly why this form of diabetes is much more common than type one diabetes. Now let's move on to our kidneys. So the question is, how exactly does diabetes, how exactly does hyperglycemia, the abnormally high concentration of glucose inside the blood, affect our kidneys? Well, under normal conditions, when we have normal concentration of glucose inside the blood, what the kidney does is it basically absorbs all that glucose that is found inside our filtrate. And that means none of the glucose will actually end up in our urine under normal conditions. However, in a person that has diabetes, in a person that has hyperglycemia, because we have such a high concentration of glucose inside our blood, the kidneys cannot actually absorb all that glucose.
