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.

They wont us use fire anymore...someone set a desk on fire a few months ago. Its pretty lame, when we have to use matches, the teacher comes around and does it for us

That's a shame. 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.
