Glucose is the primary energy source of the body and comes from carbohydrate foods. It is important for a relatively constant level to be maintained in the body. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body's cells use the glucose. Insulin is released by the pancreas into the blood to control the rise of glucose levels. If your blood glucose levels stay high, it will damage your kidneys, nerves, brain, blood vessels and eyes. It is important to have this screening performed when you are older than 45 years or have risk factors for diabetes; when you have symptoms suggesting high or low blood glucose; during pregnancy; when you are diabetic.
