Blood Glucose Monitoring
Alternate Names : Glucose - Random, Glucose Monitoring, Random Glucose, Serum Glucose - Random
Definition A measurement of glucose in the blood that can be done at any time on a portable machine. It can be a self test for the diabetic (see also "glucose").
Why is the Test Performed?
The test allows the diabetic to carefully monitor blood glucose levels to assure that they are within the normal range. The individual can then respond quickly to high or low blood sugar levels (diabetes or hypoglycemia) with appropriate intervention.
This test can also be a screening test for blood glucose levels.
