[16] [17] It thus has potential for screening for coronary artery disease, [18] although no evidence-based recommendations can be made about screening in low-risk patients because clinical trials are lacking. [18] It is noteworthy that abnormal values of ABI predispose to development of the frailty syndrome. [19]
It is not clear if screening for disease in the general population is useful, as it has not been extensively studied. [21] This includes screening with the ankle-brachial index [68] (ABI), although a systematic review of the literature did not support the use of routine ABI screening in asymptomatic patients. [69]
The main goal of diabetes management is to keep blood glucose (BG) levels as normal as possible. [1] If diabetes is not well controlled, further challenges to health may occur.

Four generations of blood glucose meter, c. 1991–2005. Sample sizes vary from 30 to 0.3 μl. Test times vary from 5 seconds to 2 minutes (modern meters typically require less than 15 seconds). A blood glucose meter is an electronic device for measuring the blood glucose level. A relatively small drop of blood is placed on a disposable test ...
In recent years, studies have found that drug tests aren't necessarily the best way to identify someone with a substance use problem — a simple screening questionnaire is also effective.
A level below 5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) 10–16 hours without eating is normal. 5.6–6 mmol/L (100–109 mg/dL) may indicate prediabetes and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) should be offered to high-risk individuals (old people, those with high blood pressure etc.). 6.1–6.9 mmol/L (110–125 mg/dL) means OGTT should be offered even if other ...
