Tests
A quantitative measurement for assessing the amount of glucose present in a blood sample.
Tests
A blood glucose test measures the glucose levels in your blood. Glucose is a type of sugar. It is your body's main source of energy. It comes from the food you eat. A hormone called insulin helps move glucose from your bloodstream into your cells for use as energy. If you have too much or too little glucose in your blood, it may be a sign of a serious medical condition.
Tests
A measurement of the glucose clearance in a sample.
Tests
A glucose in urine test measures the amount of glucose in your urine (pee). Glucose is a type of sugar. It is your body's main source of energy. Glucose comes from the food you eat. Your body breaks down most of that food into glucose and releases it into your bloodstream. Your blood carries glucose to your cells for energy.
Tests
The determination of the amount of glucose present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of plasma equivalent glucose present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the ratio of radiolabeled glucose to total glucose present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.
Tests
This test measures the level of C-peptide in a sample of your blood or urine (pee). C-peptide is a chain of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that your pancreas makes in the process of making insulin. Insulin is a hormone that your pancreas makes to help blood glucose (blood sugar) get into your cells, where it can be used for energy. This helps keep your blood glucose at healthy levels.
Tests
Diabetes , also known as diabetes mellitus, is a disease that affects how your body uses glucose ( blood sugar ). Glucose is your body's main source of energy. A hormone (a chemical messenger in your bloodstream that controls the actions of certain cells or organs) called insulin helps move glucose from your bloodstream into your cells.
Tests
This test measures the amount of G6PD in your blood. G6PD stands for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. It's an enzyme, a protein that speeds up certain chemical reactions in your body. It helps your red blood cells work properly. Red blood cells move oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. Your cells need oxygen to grow, reproduce, and stay healthy.
Tests
This test measures the amount of glucagon in your blood. Glucagon is a hormone made by your pancreas. Hormones are chemical messengers in your bloodstream that control the actions of certain cells or organs. Glucagon works with other hormones, like insulin, to help maintain your body's level of blood glucose , also called blood sugar. Glucagon increases your blood glucose levels, while insulin decreases your blood glucose levels.
