The finger stick glucose levels in the mid and post samples appeared to be about 3.5 times higher than the plasma AA levels. When the finger stick glucose levels were divided by 3.6
one could get a close approximation of the plasma AA levels at low levels. The mid finger stick glucose level was: 251 mg/dL: 251 mg/dL t 3.6 = 69.7 mg/dL AA (the actual value was 69.2 mg/dL)
It does not appear that oral intake of vitamin C in any form will affect the finger stick glucose procedure. One of the authors is a Type I1 diabetic and takes a minimum of six grams of oral vitamin C a day. It has not caused a rise in his serum or finger stick glucose.

Really the rises shown on your wife’s meter wasn’t all that bad of an increase 30% Not bad! A thought that came to mind is have you checked the other meters to see if there sensitive to V-C. It would be interesting to see since you have 3 meters.
Mix a batch of 100mg AA in 3.3oz. of water and test all three with the same batch and see what kind of readings they give you. Your 404 reading meter would be of the most interesting to me. That one sounds way off balance to me.
Another would be to take SA and just add 100mg to 3.3oz of water and not compensating for AA levels and compare what the meters say the difference is between SA and AA is. This would give some idea if the meters are reading the actual levels of AA or just the presence of the AA.
I went a little off yesterday but it just gets to me when I see a person with sugar problems getting their heart wrecked in the process and the solution is so simple. The old saying “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink!” Sure applies when you deal with people on both sides of the table in these situations. My hope is someday someway they will see the light.

ascorbate
Ascorbate concentrations over renal re-absorption threshold pass freely into the urine and are excreted. At high dietary doses (corresponding to several hundred mg/day in humans) ascorbate is accumulated in the body until the plasma levels reach the renal resorption threshold, which is about 1.5 mg/dL in men and 1.3 mg/dL in women
Individuals experiencing oxidative stress have ascorbate blood levels lower than 45 µmol/L, compared to healthy individual who range between 61.4-80 µmol/L.
