Description
Glucose Test measures the glucose blood level and it is frequently used as a diabetes screening test and to test for low blood glucose or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Even if you are not experiencing any symptoms of diabetes, it is important to screen yourself to rule out risks of the disease. Glucose is commonly called "blood sugar" and is the primary energy source for the body's cells.
It is recommended to fast 8 – 12 hours before the test (nothing to eat or drink except water).
