About Our Glucose Test

Fasting Instructions:

Fasting is required for this lab test. You should not consume food or beverages other than water for at least 8 hours prior to visiting the lab. If you choose not to fast, it may affect your results.

The Glucose blood test measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in your blood at the time of collection, offering a direct snapshot of how your body is processing its primary energy source. Glucose fuels your cells, especially the brain, and maintaining balanced levels is essential for overall health, energy, and metabolic function.

Because glucose levels are tightly regulated by insulin, abnormal results can signal early metabolic imbalances. This test is a foundational screening tool used to assess blood sugar control and identify potential concerns before symptoms become severe.

What Is Included In This Test?

This test measures the concentration of glucose in your blood to evaluate how effectively your body manages blood sugar.

Your results can help:

Screen for normal, low, or elevated blood sugar levels
Identify prediabetes or diabetes
Monitor existing blood sugar conditions
Detect hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar)
Support timely lifestyle or treatment decisions

Results provide immediate insight into current glucose levels and are often used alongside other tests for a complete metabolic picture.

Who Should Consider This Test?

This test is ideal for individuals who want to understand their current blood sugar status or monitor glucose-related conditions.

You should consider this test if you:

Want to screen for prediabetes or diabetes
Have symptoms such as fatigue, increased thirst, frequent urination, or dizziness
Have a family history of diabetes
Are monitoring blood sugar as part of a health or wellness plan
Have been diagnosed with diabetes and need routine glucose monitoring

Early detection allows for faster intervention and better long-term health outcomes.

Common Questions:

What does glucose do in the body?

Glucose fuels your cells, especially the brain, and plays a critical role in energy production and metabolic function.

How is this test different from the A1C test?

The Glucose test shows your blood sugar at a single point in time, while the A1C test reflects average blood sugar over several months.

Will anyone see my results besides me?

Your results are stored in your secure online account. They are not shared with anyone else. If you choose, you can print or download them to share with your own doctor.

Do I need to fast before this test?

Yes, fasting is required for this lab test. You should not consume food or beverages other than water for at least 8 hours prior to visiting the lab. If you choose not to fast, it may affect your results.
