Glucose is the primary source of energy regulated by hormones such as: insulin, cortisol and glucagon. Determinations of glucose level in serum and plasma are mainly used in diagnosis and treatment monitoring of diabetes mellitus. Measurement of glucose concentration is also used as an aid in diagnosis of clinical conditions associated with hypoglicemia and hyperglicemia. Increased glucose levels can be observed in transcient hyperglicemia, acute stress reaction, Cushing's syndrome, glucocorticoid therapy, hyperthyroidism. Decreased concentrations of glucose can be associated with neonatal hypoglycemia or hypothyroidism.
