OBJECTIVE To find out whether diabetics can use their blood glucose monitor to help them determine sugar content in their drink
RESEARCH Diabetics have strict diets because too much or too little sugar is dangerous. Even too much fruits are bad. Diet drinks with artificial sugar are preferred over regular drinks with sugar.
PROCEDURE Test 11 different types of drinks twice by adding a drop of each drink on a test strip and inserting it into the blood glucose monitor.
RESULTS Total of 22 trials was experimented. Water has 0g/240mL of sugar (read “less than 20 mg/dL” both times); Propel has 2 g/240mL of sugar (reads 111mg/dL and 107 mg/dL); Gatorade contains 14g/240mL of sugar (reads 228mg/dL and 279 mg/dL); Apple Juice has 26g/240mL of sugar (reads “HI” which means it is over 600mg/dL); Iced tea has 17g/240mL of sugar (reads 461mg/dL and 484mg/dL);Diet iced tea has 0g/mL of sugar (reads 27mg/dL and “less than 20mg/dL”);
Low fat milk has 12g/240mL of sugar (reads 104mg/dL and 113mg/dL); Coke has 27m/240mL (reads “HI” both times); Diet Coke has 0g/240mL of sugar (reads 41mg/dL and “less than 20mg/dL”); Coke Zero has 0g/mL of sugar (reads 90mg/dL, then “Error”) and of sugar
CONCLUSION Diabetics can use a Blood Glucose Monitor to read sugar content, however it is not accurate. It can only read a range. Drinks with lactose are not as accurate as those containing added sugar.

For you didnt really address this in your own words but has poor grammar youre discussing the results much easier to answer questions though even too much easier to answer questions though even too much fruits are bad has that sounds like your results much fruits are not bad you why would diabetics need to use their glucose meter measured sugar one way of carbohydrates.
The sentence should report both labeled and beverages with the same units 1000 mg mg mg 0001 dl 100 ml ml 001 dl this makes the results and sucrosecontaining.
