I've been having some issues with my urine test showing double positive for sugar, but when I had my blood sugar tested, it came back normal. My doctor suggested I see a diabetologist, and I'm trying to understand what might be happening here. Why would there be sugar in my urine but not in my blood? What steps should I take to figure this out?
