What is the relation between whole blood glucose level and plasma glucose level?

Plasma makes up 55% of the volume of the blood. Glucose content in blood cells is different (smaller) than the glucose content in plasma. So the average glucose content in the whole blood is different from both (lies in between).
To get an approximate plasma glucose value, multiply the whole blood value by 1.15. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar

Yes. Whole blood minus the blood cells leaves you with plasma, which includes all dissolved materials.
What is the blood in your body made up of?
plasma, glucose,oxygen,etc.

There is an interesting relationship between plasma and whole blood. Whole blood contains plasma but plasma does not contain whole blood.
Is there any relation between the plasma in your blood and the state of matter known as plasma?
No. Plasma in blood is entirely different than the plasma state of matter. Blood plasma is a water based fluid. State of matter plasma is a highly energetic (i.e. very, very hot, even millions of degrees) mass of material where the electrons have, due to the high heat, been stripped off of the mass.
