I really have no idea. Um, try Discovery Health's website. Maybe they tell you over there? I think this is the link if it isn't just go to yahoo and type it in. www.discoveryhealth.com

I heard from a friend that you can buy blood sugar testers for pretty cheap at certain stores. Iv'e actually been quite curious about that myself lately and have been looking to buy one. If i'm able to find one i'll be sure to email you and tell you where I got it. Sorry though I have no information beyond that.

Well, my teacher said you can always add Benedict's Solution... heat it up and see if it turns brick-red. The more red, the more glucose.

My biology teacher is more outgoing.. She even lets use run around lab tables like monkeys instead of jogging in place when testing heart rates. :crazy:
