• Blood sugar overflow assessment: Indicates when blood glucose levels exceed the kidney's ability to reabsorb all glucose back into the bloodstream.
• Diabetes screening support: Acts as an initial screening tool to identify individuals who might have undiagnosed or poorly controlled diabetes.
• Kidney function evaluation: Helps assess how well your kidneys are filtering and reabsorbing glucose.
• Treatment monitoring assistance: Supports doctors in evaluating the effectiveness of diabetes management strategies.

• Pregnant women: For screening gestational diabetes during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters
• Routine health checkups: As part of comprehensive health screenings to detect early signs of metabolic disorders
