3021737 - GLUCOSE [MASS/VOLUME] IN SERUM OR PLASMA --2 HOURS POST MEAL

A blood glucose test is a blood test that screens for diabetes by measuring the level of glucose (sugar) in a person’s blood. Normal blood glucose level (while fasting) range within 70 to 99 mg/dL. Higher ranges could indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes. [1]

In the OMOP vocabulary 3021737 is a Standard Concept that represents the measurement GLUCOSE [MASS/VOLUME] IN SERUM OR PLASMA --2 HOURS POST MEAL

The recommended low and high values for each unit associated with 3021737 are below. These are not meant to be normal values. Rather, these are meant to be biologically plausible values. For example, it would be implausible to see a patient with a weight of 0 kg though a person could be 2.5 kg.

8840

In the OMOP vocabulary 8840 is a Standard Concept that represents the unit MILLIGRAM PER DECILITER

Plausible Low Value

20.0

Plausible High Value

2656.0

Rationale

The range 0-2600 was chosen based on values seen in real world data. The plausible high value for this specific measurement is based on an external validation exercise that noted a survivable recording of a blood glucose level of 2656 mg/dl in March 2008. [2][3]
