About the test

The test measures the concentration of glucose, the main energy source for cells, and helps assess carbohydrate metabolism. It is used when investigating diabetes mellitus, monitoring an established disorder and exploring symptoms of high or low blood sugar. The result reflects the glucose level at the time the sample was collected.

The result depends on time since a meal, physical activity, stress and treatment. When making a diagnosis, the doctor considers the testing conditions and whether confirmation is needed. The doctor assesses the result together with symptoms, medical history and other investigations. The reference values of the individual laboratory are used for comparison, and changes over time are considered during follow-up.

Why it is ordered

  • Assess carbohydrate metabolism.
  • Help detect and monitor diabetes mellitus.
