A member asked:

Why would my glucose test result be invalid due to glycolysis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Glucose test: If the blood was drawn and sat around too long at room temp without separation of plasma from cells, the white blood cells in the blood will metabolize the glucose (glycolysis) and lower the glucose value.
