Interstitial Versus Blood Glucose Monitoring

What is blood glucose?

• main sugar found in our blood

• It comes from the food

• main source of energy

• The more glucose we have on our blood the better

How (where) does blood glucose get measured (blood sampling)?

• venous

• arterial

• plasma

• serum

CGMs measure the amount of blood glucose from

• Vessels

• Capillars

• Arthery

• Interstitial Fluid

• Intracellular Fluid

What is the Interstitial Fluid?

• Internal fluid of the cells

• body fluid between blood vessels and fat

• body fluid between blood vessels and cells

• Internal fluid of the blood cells

Is the amount of glucose in the blood equal the amout of glucose in the cell and equal the amount in Interstitial Fluid?

• Yes

• No

Do you know how does the CGM measures glucose (which method/lab technique)?

• Yes

• No

Do you think that is important that we, as HI Team members, are able to answer these questions correctly?

• Yes

• No
