Message definition (Blood sugar level)
===Sample type===
Glucose is measured in whole blood, [[blood plasma|plasma]] or [[blood serum|serum]]. Historically, blood glucose values were given in terms of whole blood, but most laboratories now measure and report plasma or serum glucose levels. Because [[red blood cell]]s (erythrocytes) have a higher concentration of protein (e.g., hemoglobin) than serum, serum has a higher water content and consequently more dissolved glucose than does whole blood. To convert from whole-blood glucose, multiplication by 1.14 has been shown to generally give the serum/plasma level.
