Glucose is assessed randomly, in a non-fasting state. This means that clients can eat before doing their glucose test. Research has demonstrated a relationship between diabetes, cardiovascular disease and individuals suffering from a heart attack or stroke. Individuals with diabetes are also more likely to have certain conditions, or risk factors that increase their probability of having cardiovascular disease. Within range random/non-fasting glucose: 3,90-7,8 mmol.l-1
