Glucose 2h after a meal in venous blood

Glucose level measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with carbohydrate metabolism disorders (diabetes, neonatal hypoglycemia, idiopathic hypoglycemia), as well as in monitoring diabetes therapy.

They are also indicated for preventive screenings (detection of diabetes and prediabetic conditions), as well as check-ups for patients from risk groups and pregnant women. An increase in glucose levels is observed in diabetes, pituitary and adrenal gland dysfunctions, pancreatic diseases, dialysis patients, and during pregnancy.

A decrease in glucose levels occurs in cases of insulin overdose, oral antidiabetic drug overdose, hormonal insufficiency of the pituitary and adrenal glands, congenital metabolic blocks, and toxic liver damage.
