Glucose

Glucose is a simple sugar and a primary source of energy for the body's cells. The glucose test measures the concentration of glucose in the blood, which is essential for diagnosing and managing conditions related to blood sugar levels, such as diabetes mellitus. The test can be performed in various ways, including fasting blood glucose tests, random glucose tests, and oral glucose tolerance tests. Normal glucose levels are crucial for maintaining energy, and both low levels (hypoglycemia) and high levels (hyperglycemia) can lead to serious health issues.
