Introduction
Benedict’s reagent is a bright blue solution used for detecting glucose in urine. Urine normally does not contain glucose (or it is present in traces), and it cannot be detected using regular test. If urine contains sugar, it is most frequently glucose, which is indicative of diabetes or other disorder in blood glucose level regulation.
