Peroxidase-Coupled Glucose Method

Glucose is a key metabolic substrate, and accurate glucose measurement is critical for diagnosing and managing conditions such as diabetes mellitus, endocrine disorders, and other causes of hypo- and hyperglycemia. This activity focuses on regulating blood glucose and the clinical application of the glucose oxidase-peroxidase method, one of the most commonly used enzymatic assays for measuring blood glucose in laboratory practice. Clinicians participating in this activity can improve their competence in interpreting glucose values, understanding the principles of the glucose oxidase-peroxidase method, and recognizing potential interfering factors that can affect results. The course outlines specimen handling, testing protocols, and quality control strategies to ensure precise and clinically useful data. This activity also highlights the essential role of the interprofessional team. Laboratory professionals ensure the validity of test results; clinicians use the data to guide diagnosis and treatment; nurses monitor and respond to patient status; and dietitians provide nutritional guidance to support glycemic control. By improving team-based communication and coordination, this activity supports safer, more effective management of glucose abnormalities, leading to better patient outcomes and reduced risk of complications.
