A glucose test is a type of blood test used to determine the amount of glucose in the blood.

It is mainly used in screening for prediabetes or diabetes.

Patients are instructed not to consume anything but water during the fasting period.

Caffeine will also distort the results.

If the person eats during the period in which he or she is supposed to have been fasting then they may show blood sugar levels that may cause his or her doctor to think the person has or is at increased risk of having diabetes.

In people already having diabetes, blood glucose monitoring is used with frequent intervals in the management of the condition.

Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period.

Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger.

If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications.

Acute complications can include diabetic ketoacidosis, nonketotic hyperosmolar coma, or death.

Serious long-term complications include heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney failure, foot ulcers, and damage to the eyes.

Blood glucose monitoring is a way of testing the concentration of glucose in the blood (glycemia).

Particularly important in the care of diabetes mellitus, a blood glucose test is performed by piercing the skin (typically, on the finger) to draw blood, then applying the blood to a chemically active disposable 'test-strip'.

Different manufacturers use different technology, but most systems measure an electrical characteristic, and use this to determine the glucose level in the blood.

The test is usually referred to as capillary blood glucose.

A brand (or marque for car model) is a name, term, design, symbol, or other feature that distinguishes one seller’s product from those of others.

Brands are used in business, marketing, and advertising.
