Hi everyone!
I am a Type 1 Diabetic doing a Chemistry experiment for my senior year of high school in Canada. I want to test the speed of glucose release (rate of reaction) of various glucose-based hypoglycemic treatments (tablets, liquids, gels, etc.). The end goal is to determine which hypoglycemic treatment is the best considering that I want the treatment to work as fast as possible and don't care about any other factors, such as taste or cost.
Can anyone explain how glucose enters our bloodstream with a chemical reaction? For example, If I eat a pure glucose tablet right now, how will that glucose enter my blood and raise my blood sugar?
Thank you so much in advance for your responses!
