The presence and concentration of glucose in the blood; blood sugar level (also spelled glycemia).
From Greek glukus meaning 'sweet' plus the suffix '-aemia' (from Greek haima, 'blood'). This is the British spelling; the American version is 'glucemia' without the 'a'.
Glucose literally means 'sweet wine' in Greek—doctors use this ancient term to describe the sweet sugar circulating in your blood, and measuring it is one of medicine's most important diagnostic tools.
