Ultrafiltration in the Bowman's capsule- happens due to high pressure created by the difference in diameter of the Afferent and Efferent arterioles. Glucose now in filtrate and not blood.Glucose then travels from the bowman's capsule to the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) It is then reabsorbed (100% is reabsorbed normally) in the PCT through Sodium Co-transportersIt then moves back into the blood and leaves the kidney.
