He then drinks an 8oz coke and eats 2 glazed donuts. At 9:45 am, 45 minutes after his initial reading, he pricks his finger again and records a blood glucose level of 125 mg/dl. An hour later, at 10:45 am, he takes his final blood sugar reading and it is 108 mg/dl. 1. What is the independent and dependent variable? 2. Why did the glucose level drop? 3. How did the final glucose compare to the intial?Write a summery for the Scenario Scenario: The patient questions the accuracy of the glucose readings obtained using their glucometer.
