http://www.medscape.com/medline/abstract/8536808\n\nI did a search of the word in your question and this is one of the top four sites that came up.\nIt should give you info to start understanding what it means.\n\nI am a cancer patient and have tried to make heads or tails of the conflicting data about artificial sweetners but it can be confusing.\nI was told that "splenda" which is made from sugar is better than the other replacements but just a few days ago found info that says it can be harmful too so I don't know anymore what to use.

A simpler formula will be SO2+NO2+CO2+H20 (unlimited)-> H2SO4 (strong and oxidant) +  HNO3 (nitric acid, stronger and oxidant) +  H2C03 (carbonic acid, weak but ´till corrosive, just like the soft drinks)

ask your phsician to check "fasting glusose level"\n\nI'm not an m.d., but used to have "hypoglycemia"

Firstly, it should be done by a healthcare professional...either a doctor or a diabetic nurse.  It is calculated based on individual response. So it is really a guess game. You give some insulin, see what a sugar value is in several hours and adjust based on that.  After several days, you arrive at a reasonable dose.  Hope this helps, but don't try this on your own :).

I'm a writer for various fitness publications and here's one I wrote on the subject of carbohydrates that should help you a great deal to understanding this confusing subject:\n\nhttp://www.truthaboutabs.com/glycemic-index-carbohydrates.html\n\nAlso, here's some of the healthiest foods on the planet listed in this other article I wrote:\n\nhttp://www.truthaboutabs.com/hard-body-nutrition.html\n\nBest wishes

The simple answer is that 1g of SPLENDA contains a fraction of a calorie, so they round down to get 0 calories.\n\nThough you might have heard anything ending in "ose" means sugar and should be used in moderation, sucralose, the sweetening ingredient in SPLENDA, is not recognized by the body as sugar or as a carbohydrate and has no calories. Sucralose has also been shown not to cause a rise in hemoglobin A1c (a measure of your average blood glucose level over time).\n\nSPLENDA can lower carbohydrates and calories in recipes. For example, a cup of SPLENDA has 96 calories and 24 grams of carbohydrates, compared to the 770 calories and 192 grams of carbohydrates found in a cup of sugar.

you go on google, find out the meter length of a beverage can\nmultiply that by 1 billion (1 X 10^9 i believe) and divide by 1000 (giving you km)

The answer to this is on below site along with quotes by MDs about why and about low glycemic index carbs etc.

try API20E or any other commercial available kit. or conventional sugar test recommended by CDC.

You just need the density of sugar. That will give you the weight/vol.\nDivide 1g by the density will give you the volume of 1g.\n\n Then take the cube root of the volume to find the size of the cube.\n\nI search and found the density to be 1.6 g/cm^3\n\nso, if it were 1 g/cm^ the cube would be 1 cm on a side\nif it were 2 g/cm^ the cube would be (1/2)^(1/3) on a side.\n\nJust calculate (1/1.6)^(1/3) = s length of side of your cube in cm.

The glycemic index or GI ranks carbohydrate (sugars and starches) according to their effect on blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates that break down quickly during digestion have high GI values. Carbohydrates that break down slowly, releasing glucose gradually into the blood stream, have low GI values. \n\nSome low GI foods are:\nBran cereal  \nApples  \nCarrots \nChick peas  \nGrapes  \nGreen peas  \nKidney beans \nNopal  \nOranges  \nPeaches  \nPeanuts  \nPears  \nRed lentils  \nStrawberries \nSweet corn \n \n\nStudy Finds Health Benefit in Low-Glycemic Diet\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/news/articles/study_finds_health_benefit_low-glycemic_diet.shtml

You can work on fruit juices and other beverages like colas etc..carry out small analysis to find out how many of them contain glucose/sucrose ie aldoses and ketoses..u can also determine if they contain carboxylic acids,ascorbic acid etc.u can do benedicts/fehling test and lucas test on the different juices.can determine if any kind of OH group is present in those drinks..wt vitamins,wt minerals present.\nA similar kind of study can be done on toothpastes..take different brands of toothpastes,carry out tests on them as which ones contain Flouride,bleach,whitening powders and whiche all contains sugar.

what kind of glucometer machine do you have?? Every machine is different. I have a One touch and I use strips and once the correct steps are followed I obtain my sugar level. No machines don't get blood into them unless inproper steps have happened.

The Diabetes A1c test stands for glycated hemoglobin or HbA1c, it gives you a picture of your average blood glucose control for the past 2 to 3 months. The results give you a good idea of how well your diabetes treatment plan is working.\n\nYou should have had your A1C level measured when your diabetes was diagnosed or when treatment for diabetes was started. To watch your overall glucose control, your doctor should measure your A1C level at least twice a year. This is the minimum. There are times when you need to have your A1C level tested about every 3 months. \n\nIn a person who does not have diabetes, about 5% of all hemoglobin is glycated. For someone with diabetes and high blood glucose levels, the A1C level is higher than normal.
