LOINC long common name : PhenX - fasting plasma glucose for diabetes screening - glucometer protocol 140802;
LOINC short name : Fast plasma gluc glucometer proto;
LOINC description : This protocol provides basic information for measuring blood glucose concentrations
using a glucose meter or glucometer. Participants are asked to fast for at least 9
hours (generally overnight) prior to the test. If the 9-hour fast is not met, the
Diabetes Working Group recommends that the test can still be completed as a casual
glucose concentration (see protocol for casual glucose reference ranges for screening
plus/minus Diabetes).;
