What meter?Lol, my thoughts exactly. I didn't expect it to work. Thought some kind of error would pop up. But no, didn't flinch, just read out 10.2!

The meter will report how much glucose there is in the test substance (maybe in accurately, I don't know) but there are other forms of carbohydrate which are broken down to glucose which it may not detect. Since most carbs in food are not free glucose, I'm not sure how useful the result will be (milk is mainly lactose, starch is long chains of glucose, table sugar is glucose-fructose pairs - products made with actual glucose like Lucozade original are very rare because it's much less sweet per g compared to sugar)I read something where you have to keep it in your mouth for the saliva to do something 'chemical reaction' so you can get a glucose reading, this was about sauces on a meal. all a bit vague as I've read heaps the last few months
I used my google foo and found I wasn't even close, it was Dr. Bernstein's Low-Carbohydrate Solution and it was urine strips, not blood stripsThe meter will report how much glucose there is in the test substance (maybe in accurately, I don't know) )
So what does golden syrup register?Ok, I was bored! And it only registered 10.2. That must mean when I'm in my 20's my blood must resemble Golden Syrup :-/

Haha, I thought the same! That he broke his meter by putting it in Lucozade ))I'm hoping that you dunked the test strip in the lucozade and not the meter Tom (as your thread title suggest).
My daughter wanted to know if my meter would read the left over milk from her cereal bowl earlier this week. It did, 19.1.
