I downloaded the common order set from [http://loinc.org/usage/orders/common-lab-orders-value-set.xls](http://loinc.org/usage/orders/common-lab-orders-value-set.xls)  
  
  
  
Now glucose in blood ( 2339-0 ) has a ranking of 8.  
  
But if you look at the fasting, and post prandial glucose tests, they change to Ser/Plas.  
  
  
  
Why the difference?  
  
  
  
Thanks,

PS: Is there a common order set for SI unit users?
