Common Glucose Problems

There are a few different ways that someone’s glucose levels can be abnormal. The most common glucose problem is diabetes. People with diabetes either have too much sugar in their blood or their bodies can’t process it properly.

If left untreated, this can cause several serious health problems, including heart disease and stroke. So if you think you may have diabetes, getting tested immediately is essential. The earlier you catch it, the easier it is to manage. 

Other common glucose problems include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). These can both be caused by different medical conditions or certain medications.

Why Get Tested?

There are a few different reasons why you might want to get a glucose test. The most common reason is if you’re experiencing symptoms of diabetes, such as extreme thirst, fatigue, or blurred vision. 

If you have a family history of diabetes, you may want to get tested even if you’re not experiencing any symptoms. That’s because diabetes often doesn’t cause symptoms until it’s already caused serious health problems. 

Certain medications can also cause changes in your blood sugar levels. Therefore, if you’re taking medication that could do this, your doctor may want you to get tested periodically to ensure your levels are still healthy.

What Does the Glucose Test Include?

The glucose test is a simple blood test. A small sample of blood will be taken from a vein in your arm and sent to a lab for analysis. 

In most cases, you’ll get your results within 24-72 hours. If your results are abnormal, your doctor may order additional tests to confirm the diagnosis or rule out other.
