Hi Pepsilvr,
I think it depends on what type of testing is done. For example, if you have blood drawn for a "Basic Comprehensive Panel" (different clinics may call it something else), the glucose test is normally included in the results (so it is kind of a default for that line of testing). However, if you are only getting a CBC test (complete blood count), then the glucose test would not be included (as the CBC results profile red, white blood cell counts...etc.) I hope this info. helps.
I'm currently caring for a family member with cancer, and we receive blood work and results weekly. The days they do chemotherapy, they usually draw and take both CBC and Comprehensive Panels, which does include the glucose test. However, during "off weeks," the lab only draws the CBC and no glucose test is done then. I also used to work as a Vet. Tech, where I drew blood, conducted (some) tests and recorded results from the lab (Most of the labs on the animals are the same as humans). Hope this helps.
