Elevated glucose levels would indicate Diabetes, elevated lipids would indicate hypercholestemea which can be treated by diet and medication. Protein in urine would indicate kidney problems. These tests would be ordered by a good doctor for patients with any family history of diabetes, high cholesterol or heart problems; persons of certain ethic origins (especially asian); or anyone over 40. Some doctors may order them as a matter of course as the tests are cheap but the outcome for patients left undiagnosed is poor.
