Random Blood Sugar (RBS) Test In Moradabad - Price & Details

The pancreas in the body secretes insulin, a hormone that is used to manage the levels of glucose. Insulin sends the extra glucose to the liver, where it is stored as glycogen. If the glucose levels are high continuously, it can cause diabetes, a health issue in which the body can’t produce enough insulin or is unable to use the insulin effectively.
