After experiencing extreme fatigue and polyuria, a patient’s basic metabolic panel is analyzed in the laboratory. The result of the glucose is too high for the instrument to read. The technologist performs a dilution using 25 of patient sample to 50uL (microliter) of diluent. The result now reads 325 mg/dL. How should the technologist report this patient’s glucose result?
