Blood glucose test

A blood glucose test measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in your blood, providing important information about how your body manages blood sugar levels. It's often used to diagnose and monitor diabetes or other conditions affecting blood sugar. The test is quick and involves drawing a small blood sample, usually from your finger or vein. Results indicate whether your blood sugar is within a healthy range or if adjustments to diet, medication, or lifestyle are needed to maintain proper balance and prevent complications.
