Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucose accumulates in the blood and appears in the urine as the renal threshold for glucose is exceeded, producing an osmotic diuresis and the symptoms of polyuria and thirst. Ketone formation would lead to acidosis. Insulin resistance will promote hyperglycemia. And increase in antidiuretic hormone leads to water retention.
