What is a Glucose blood test?
A standard blood test, but a crucial part of any health screening, glucose levels are a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, a disease in which the body cannot utilise sugar properly. As we recommend that you fast for your health screening, the results will be reported as FASTING blood glucose.

To determine if your level is within normal ranges; to evaluate for, analyse, and screen for diabetes; and to screen for hypoglycaemia (Low) and hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose).
