Glucose

Glucose testing is an important laboratory investigation for the diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus, hypoglycemia, adrenal dysfunction, and other metabolic conditions. Measuring glucose accurately helps evaluate blood sugar levels and identify abnormal glucose metabolism.

Clinical Significance

• Elevated glucose levels may be seen in diabetes mellitus, during severe stress, after intravenous administration of glucose-containing fluids, and in some cerebrovascular accidents.

• Low glucose levels may occur following insulin administration, with insulinoma, inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism, or fasting.

• Glucose measurement is useful for the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of glucose-related disorders.
