Glucose
Explanation: Glucose is a type of sugar that serves as the primary source of energy for human cells. It's one of the main products of carbohydrate (bread, rice, fruits, and sweets) and is crucial for various biological processes such as energy production and brain function, as the brain relies heavily on glucose as its primary energy source and it cannot store or produce much glucose on its own.
Test purpose: This test is crucial for diagnosing and managing conditions like diabetes, monitoring general health, and ensuring the body has enough energy to function properly.
- Check for diabetes: High blood sugar levels may indicate diabetes or pre-diabetes. For people with diabetes, regular testing ensures their glucose levels are managed properly.
- Evaluate symptoms like fatigue or thirst: Unexplained symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue may be linked to abnormal blood sugar levels.
- Check for hypoglycemia: Low glucose levels (hypoglycemia) can cause shakiness, confusion, and dizziness.
- Monitor during fasting or stress: Glucose levels are often tested during fasting or times of stress to see how the body is regulating blood sugar.
