This blog upsets me in so many ways.
First, blood glucose meters are just that; designed from the
beginning to read the blood glucose levels from the test strips
containing a sample of your blood. Sugar is sugar and not blood
glucose. Sugar is a carbohydrate and is converted in the body to
glucose.




Why do writers of articles and blogs
make the assumption that blood sugar is blood
