? Glucose is diffused into cells through

? GLUT4 is present in cytoplasmic

BLOOD GLUCOSE ESTIMATION
? The blood is collected using an anticoagulant (potassium
oxalate) and an inhibitor of glycolysis (sodium fluoride).
? Fluoride inhibits the enzyme, enolase, and so glycolysis on
the whole is inhibited
? The glucose oxidase (GOD) method is the one most widely
used.

hours of fasting

Editor's Notes

  • #26: Recommendation 6 The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) should be retained as a diagnostic test for the following reasons fasting plasma glucose alone fails to diagnose approximately 30% of cases of previously undiagnosed diabetes an OGTT is the only means of identifying people with IGT an OGTT is frequently needed to confirm or exclude an abnormality of glucose tolerance in asymptomatic people An OGTT should be used in individuals with fasting plasma glucose 6.1C6.9mmol/l (110C125mg/dl) to determine glucose tolerance status. Recommendation 7 Currently HbA1c is not considered a suitable diagnostic test for diabetes or intermediate hyperglycaemia.
  • #27: Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) recommendation that all glucose measuring devices report in plasma values57. Measurement differences may also arise depending on the site of collection of the blood sample. Venous and capillary samples will give the same result in the fasting state but in the non-fasting state capillary will give higher results than venous samples. The processing of the sample after collection is important to ensure accurate measurement of plasma glucose. This requires rapid separation of the plasma after collection (within minutes) but it is recognised that this seldom occurs. Collection into a container with glycolytic inhibitors (eg NaF) is only partially effective. A minimum requirement is that the sample should be placed immediately in ice-water after collection and before separating but even so separation should be within 30min58. Recommendation 5 1. Venous plasma glucose should be the standard method for measuring and reporting. However in recognition of the widespread use of capillary sampling, especially in under-resourced countries, conversion values for capillary plasma glucose are provided for post- load glucose values. Fasting values for venous and capillary plasma glucose are identical. 2. Glucose should be measured immediately after collection by near patient testing, or if a blood sample is collected, plasma should be immediately separated, or the sample should be collected into a container with glycolytic inhibitors and placed on ice-water until separated prior to analysis.
