What are the other parameters and tests included in the glucose test?
Following are the different types of glucose tests:
- Fasting plasma glucose test: It measures the amount of glucose present in your blood if you have not had anything except water for at least 8 hours. It is usually done in the mornings.
- Random plasma glucose test: It also measures the amount of glucose present in your blood. However, it can be done at any time of the day, irrespective of whether you have consumed anything or not. You need to give your blood sample for the same. It can also be a part of other blood tests, such as a comprehensive metabolic panel. Diabetic people can check their glucose levels at home using a fingerstick blood test.
- Glucose tolerance test: It also measures the amount of glucose present in your blood when you don’t consume anything for a night and intake glucose in the morning. It requires the withdrawal of blood several times over a period of a couple of hours.
- Urine glucose test: It is usually done as a part of urinalysis to check for certain chemicals present in our urine. Blood glucose tests are more reliable and accurate than urine glucose tests.
- The hemoglobin A1c: It test tells us our average glucose levels that have been connected to the hemoglobin for the last two-three months.
Usually, blood and urine samples are taken for the glucose tests to check for diabetes. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or joint fluid samples can also be used for the same. Abnormal glucose levels in the CSF or synovial fluid can be a result of viral, bacterial, or fungal infections.
