Had a cough that was getting worst with phelm. Scheduled an appointment on line which was easy. My appointment was for 1:15 and once there the check in was fast. Paid my copay and sat down. My wait was a little longer than I though because another person came after me and was called before me? Doctors visit was to the point checking my lungs and throat. She sent a prescription to my pharmacist who said the ingredients were the same as over the counter brands, Why? The only Rx added was antibiotic pills. Place was clean.

Front staff was friendly. Office was clean. Wait time was short. Doctor on staff was poor. He kept pushing me to get allergy testing which was unnecessary. Then just prescribed an antibiotic with no test results just stating that I had an allergy that became infected. I don’t have allergies. Made me super uncomfortable.

Institution states they will not take an insurance payment for any type of "physical exam" even if your insurance will pay for it they force you to pay out of pocket. Let you schedule the appointment just to inform you once you've arrived for your appointment and not before hand. This procedure needs to be evaluated and changed. I would recommend so far for any other service.

Massapequa Park Glucose Tests

Diabetes is a life-threatening disease that affects 32 million individuals in the US. Because diabetes doesn't always manifest itself as symptoms, especially in its early stages, it's vital to have your blood glucose levels examined if you're at risk.

Patients aged 45 and over should get their glucose levels checked once a year, according to the American Diabetes Association. If you're under 45 and have a lot of risk factors, you should be checked. Obesity, having a diabetic close family member, and being physically active less than three times a week are all risk factors for diabetes. Having gestational diabetes or prediabetes raises your chances of developing diabetes later in life. African Americans, Latinos, and American Indians, for example, have a higher risk of diabetes than other ethnic groups.

Pregnant women with type 2 diabetes risk factors should be tested for gestational diabetes during the first trimester. Being overweight, over 35, having a history of gestational diabetes, or belonging to an ethnic group with a high diabetes risk are all risk factors. If diabetes is not controlled during pregnancy, it can cause complications such as hypertension, cesarean birth, and even infant mortality.

Prediabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than usual but not high enough to be categorized as diabetes. One out of every three people in the United States has prediabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and many of them are unaware of it. If left untreated, many people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within ten years. Prediabetes, on the other hand, is reversible by dietary and lifestyle changes. Blood sugar control can be achieved by eating a good diet and exercising regularly. Start reducing weight right immediately if you're overweight. Consume plenty of fruits and vegetables while avoiding refined carbohydrates and sweets.

Glucose Test FAQs

  • How much does a glucose test cost in Massapequa Park?

    The cost of a blood glucose test is determined by a number of factors, including the test's location and type. A glucose test will set you back around $10. Ask your doctor's office when you arrange your appointment if you have any questions about the type of test you'll need or how much it'll cost.

  • Does insurance cover glucose testing in Massapequa Park?

    Many health insurance companies fund glucose testing, but there are certain restrictions. Your insurer may cover a glucose test once or twice a year, for example. Contact your insurance carrier or look up your policy documentation on their website if you have any queries about what your insurance plan covers.

  • What is glucose in a blood test?

    Glucose is a type of sugar found in human and animal blood that acts as one of the body's principal fuel sources. Glucose is obtained from the food you eat, or it can be produced by your body from other sources if necessary. After you eat, glucose is released into your bloodstream and circulated throughout your body. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into cells so that it may be used for energy.

  • What is a glucose test?

    A glucose test is a simple blood test that determines how much glucose is present in your body. Too much or too little glucose in the blood might cause medical issues and signal a more serious condition. Hyperglycemia, or high blood glucose levels, can be a sign of diabetes, which is linked to heart disease, stroke, kidney illness, eye problems, skin diseases, sluggish wound healing, and other complications.

  • How long should I fast before a glucose test?

    Before a glucose test, you should fast for at least eight hours. If you eat or drink anything before a glucose test, your blood sugar will be higher, and the result may not be accurate. Before a glucose test, you can drink water but not anything else. It's best to schedule your appointment early in the morning so that you don't go hungry for the rest of the day.

  • How do I read glucose test results?

    The concentration of glucose in the blood is expressed in milligrams per deciliter, or mg/dL, a measuring unit. A fasting glucose test's normal range is 70 to 99 mg/dL. Prediabetes can be discovered when blood sugar levels are between 100 and 125 mg/dL. If your fasting blood glucose level is greater than 125 mg/dL, you may have diabetes.

  • How long does it take to get glucose test results in Massapequa Park?

    Depending on where you get your glucose test done, the time it takes to receive your results may vary. Results may be available right away, depending on the doctor's office or testing institution. In some cases, however, your blood may be sent to a lab for testing, and the findings may take 1-2 days to arrive.

  • How is glucose testing done?

    Glucose testing is a painless and rapid procedure that takes only a few minutes. Your doctor will take a small sample of blood from a vein in your arm. The needle may sting a little, but it shouldn't be too bad. A bandage may be applied to your arm after your blood test to avoid bleeding.

  • How can I book a glucose test through Solv?

    With Solv, scheduling a glucose test is simple. Simply start typing "glucose" into the search box on our website. There will be a "glucose test" option available. Then pick to use your current location or type in your city or ZIP code. When you click the search button, a list of providers in your area will show, along with available appointment times. Select a time and place that is convenient for you.

  • Can I do at-home glucose testing?

    Home glucose testing with a blood sugar meter is possible; however, home glucose testing is not intended to diagnose diabetes. To avoid diabetes complications, it is suggested that people with diabetes monitor their blood sugar levels on a regular basis. If a glucose test is required to identify diabetes, make an appointment with a doctor who can interpret any unusual results and, if necessary, assist you in developing a treatment plan.
