Estimation of Blood Sugar

Xvi. Estimation of Sugar in the Blood

FOR some years past much attention has been directed to the determination of carbohydrate tolerance by observing the variations that occur in the sugarcontent of the blood after the ingestion of a known amount of sugar. The value of this method is now universally recognised. It is not intended in this paper to treat the subject in a general way, but merely to consider the actual estimation of s...

The Estimation of Sugar in Blood and Normal Urine

About a year ago the writer (1) described technique for the determination of sugar in blood which yields figures appreciably lower than those obtained by the use of the older methods. Since the publication of that paper two investigators, employing widely differing procedures, have reported results which indicate the correctness of the lower figures obtained with the new method. Harned (2), aft...
