Glucose

A blood test done to determine the non-fasting plasma glucose concentration. Levels of > 200 mg/dl plus classic signs and symptoms of diabetes including polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia and weight loss are diagnostic for diabetes mellitus.

Glucose is a ubiquitous fuel in biology. We can speculate on the reasons why glucose, and not another monosaccharide such as fructose, is so widely used.

Glucose is the major energy source in most life forms; a number of catabolic pathways converge on glucose. For instance, polysaccharides are broken down into their monomers (glycogen phosphorylase removes glucose residues from glycogen).

The first photosystem to evolve, PSI, uses light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to glucose. This process releases sulfur as a waste product.

Plants convert light into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis, which creates glucose (a simple sugar) and releases free oxygen. Glucose thus becomes the secondary energy source which drives the ecosystem.
