Physicians can use blood glucose levels, as a measurement to assess an adult's risk for high LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, or blood pressure. Correct answer: A
Diabetes is condition in which the body can't properly produce or process insulin and is best known for abnormally high levels of glucose, or sugar, in the blood. This condition can also increase cholesterol and triglyceride levels, or the fats present in the blood. Blood glucose levels are used as a measure because when there's something wrong with insulin, it's likely that cholesterol and triglycerides will also be affected, not just glucose.
