6 (Chemical Connections 20C) Why is the glucose assay one of the most common analytical tests per formed in clinical chemistry laboratories?

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the glucose assay to be one of the most common analytical tests performed in clinical chemistry laboratories should be explained.

Concept introduction:

A blood glucose test is performed to find out if our blood sugar levels are within the healthy range. It is frequently used to assist, monitor and diagnose diabetes.

Explanation of Solution

Millions of people in this world have diabetes mellitus. It is due to the insufficient insulin in their blood. The lack of insulin leads to an increase in the level of glucose in the blood...
