What the Blood Glucose Test measures
Glucose is the main sugar your body uses for energy. Blood glucose rises after eating and is brought back down by insulin, so a fasting reading shows how well your body regulates sugar when no recent meal is involved.
Why it's done
- Screening for prediabetes and diabetes
- Investigating symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, or unexplained tiredness
- Routine health checks and monitoring known diabetes
How to prepare
This test requires fasting: nothing to eat or drink except plain water for about 12 hours before your slot. Choosing an early-morning slot makes this easiest. We remind you again before you confirm your booking.
Understanding your result
Your report shows your glucose value alongside the reference range for a fasting sample. Values outside the range need to be interpreted by a doctor, who may repeat the test or ask for an HbA1c.
