General Information

Glucose Is the most important monosaccharide in the blood. It is often referred to as "blood sugar", which is produced by the breakdown of carbohydrates and the conversion of glycogen into glucose in the liver. Glucose is an indispensable source of energy that maintains cellular activity. The breakdown of glucose for the needs of metabolism is achieved by the process of glycolysis.

When should we take the test?

Diabetes screening, diagnostics and monitoring;
Diagnosis of hypoglycemia.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria for diagnosing diabetes include:

Subjective symptoms (polyuria, polydipsia, unexplained weight loss) and, in addition, "random" glucose levels> 200 mg / dL (> = 11,1 mmol / L) or
Fasting blood sugar level> = 126 mg / dL (> = 6,99 mmol / L) or
Blood sugar level> = 200 mg / dl 75 hours after glucose intake.

In the absence of ongoing hyperglycemia with severe metabolic decompensation, the second and third criteria should be confirmed by repeating the test on different days.

Added to this is the ADA's latest recommendation (2010) for the inclusion of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the diagnostics of diabetes mellitus (lower limit 6.5%). The test should be performed using a standardized method.

Diagnostic criteria for diabetes apply to both adults and children.

The test is prescribed by a doctor.

Possible interpretation of the results

High glucose levels:

diabetes;
Cushing's disease;
Acromegaly / Gigantism;
Pheochromocytoma;
Pituitary adenoma (secretion of growth hormone);
Hemochromatosis;
Acute / chronic pancreatitis;
Pancreatic neoplasm;
Glucagon secretory tumor;
Chronic kidney disease;
Progressive liver disease;
Vitamin B1 deficiency (Wernicke encephalopathy);
Acute emotional or physical stress (myocardial infarction, stroke, seizures).

Reduced glucose levels:

Insulinoma (nesulin secreting tumor);
Tumors outside the pancreas (e.g. hepatoma);
Addison's disease;
Hypopituitarism;
Malabsorption;
Acute liver necrosis (hepatitis, intoxication);
Premature infants in mothers with diabetes;
Enzyme deficiency (e.g. galactosemia);
Overdose of insulin;
Reactive hypoglycemia (hyperinsulinism, endocrine disorders);
Postprandial hypoglycemia (after gastrointestinal surgery, hereditary fructose intolerance, galactosemia).
