What's the difference between glucose and glycosuria?
Glucose
Definition:
(n.) A variety of sugar occurring in nature very abundantly, as in ripe grapes, and in honey, and produced in great quantities from starch, etc., by the action of heat and acids. It is only about half as sweet as cane sugar. Called also dextrose, grape sugar, diabetic sugar, and starch sugar. See Dextrose.
(n.) Any one of a large class of sugars, isometric with glucose proper, and including levulose, galactose, etc.
(n.) The trade name of a sirup, obtained as an uncrystallizable reside in the manufacture of glucose proper, and containing, in addition to some dextrose or glucose, also maltose, dextrin, etc. It is used as a cheap adulterant of sirups, beers, etc.

Glycosuria
Definition:
(n.) Same as Glucosuria.
Example Sentences:

(3) Glycosuria decreased in 3 patients, but increased in 7.
(4) The disease was manifested in male mice by hyperglycemia, glycosuria, and reduced plasma insulin levels, which appeared around 5 months of age and led to premature death.
