you have a valid question and no one in this thread actually addressed your question.

your calculations are limited to blood volume. 2/3 of body weight is water. 2/3 of that is intracellular fluid and 1/3 is extracellular. 1/3 of extracellular is blood.(i just average off the values)

glucose is not just in blood it is also in extracellular fluid as well as intracellular fluid.

the intracellular fluid, potential glucose exists as glycogen and fats (gluconeogenesis).
