Blood sugar quantification is very important in a number of disease states and has recently become particularly important in assessing the results of insulin therapy and its danger in terms of the occurrence of hypoglycemia. It is also important for determining the severity of a metabolic disorder and for prescribing therapy in cases of diabetes, when glycosuria is absent or negligible, and also in insulin therapy of nondiabetic conditions, where at the beginning of treatment there is no hyperglycemia, and due to this there is a danger of causing the latter. Finally, it is established that the state of the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine apparatus in general is reflected in the blood sugar content.
