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.〔 There are several different kinds of glucose tests: * Fasting blood sugar (FBS), fasting plasma glucose (FPG): 8 or 12 or 14 hours after eating * Glucose tolerance test: continuous testing * Postprandial glucose test (PC): 2 hours after eating * Random glucose test ==Reference ranges== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glucose test」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
