What do glucose monitors measure?
Glucose monitors measure blood sugar levels in humans. Many people who are diabetic or borderline diabetic must monitor their blood sugar levels. Glucose monitors for personal use can be purchased at almost any drug store.
How do you measure blood glucose levels?

How can one effectively test glucose levels?
One can effectively test glucose levels by using a blood glucose meter to measure the amount of sugar in a drop of blood obtained from a finger prick. This can be done multiple times a day to monitor blood sugar levels and manage diabetes.
Where can I find out about glucose levels?
A great place to start is diabetes.org, which is a UK website all about diabetes. It has an entire section on glucose levels which is the measure of this sugar in the blood.There is also a dedicated section to gestational diabetes.
Can blood glucose level falsely increased in lipemic serum?
Yes, blood glucose levels can be falsely increased in lipemic serum due to interference in some laboratory methods used to measure glucose levels. Lipemic serum contains high levels of triglycerides or fats, which can affect the accuracy of glucose measurements by some glucose assays. This interference can result in erroneously elevated glucose readings.
How do I find out if I have normal blood sugar levels?
The best way to measure blood sugar levels, is to measure the glucose levels. However, in order for the measure to be objective, it should be made six to eight hours after the last meal, so it is better to be measured before the breakfast.
What hormone reduces blood glucose levels and what hormone raises blood glucose levels?
Glucagon is the hormone that raises blood glucose levels.
Does glycogenolysis increase blood glucose levels?
Yes, glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose, which can increase blood glucose levels.
Does glucose increase or decrease in sitting urine?
Glucose levels in urine typically increase after meals when blood glucose levels rise. Glucose excretion in urine is typically higher when blood glucose levels are elevated, such as in uncontrolled diabetes.
Which hormone will increase blood glucose levels?
Glucagon is catabolic and increases blood glucose levels, insulin is anabolic decreases blood glucose levels.
What type of tissue is dependent on plasma glucose levels?
Adipose tissue is dependent on plasma glucose levels for energy storage and regulation of metabolism. It can uptake glucose from the bloodstream and store it as fat when glucose levels are high.
How does the liver contribute to the regulation of glucose levels in the blood?
The liver helps regulate glucose levels in the blood by storing excess glucose as glycogen when levels are high and releasing glucose into the bloodstream when levels are low. It also helps convert other substances into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis.
