    C)  Total blood volume\[-5-6\]

    D)  ESR in Wintrobe method \[-9-15mm\] in males and \[20-34mm\] in females

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Blood sugar is glucose which is converted into glycogen by insulin hormone in the liver and muscles. Usually blood glucose level is about \[80-100mg/100ml\] of blood 12 hours after a normal meal. After taking carbohydrate rich diet blood sugar level raised. Fasting glucose value of blood is \[70-110mg/dl\] (decilitre) and post prependial (after breakfast) is\[110-140mg/dl\]. If it is higher it causes diabetes mellitus (hyperglycemia) and if it is less it causes hypoglycemia. Blood glucose level exceeds\[180mg/100ml\], it starts appearing in urine (glucosuria). About other options \[15-40mg/100ml\] urea is present in blood, total blood volume in a healthy person is about 6-7 litres and erythrocytic sedimentation rate (ESR) in Wintrobe method is \[0-9mm\] in males and \[0-20mm\] in females.
