Plasma makes up 55% of the volume of the blood. Glucose content in blood cells is different (smaller) than the glucose content in plasma. So the average glucose content in the whole blood is different from both (lies in between).
To get an approximate plasma glucose value, multiply the whole blood value by 1.15. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar

glucose
Is the concentration of glucose higher in cerebrospinal fluid or plasma?
The concentration of glucose is typically higher in plasma (blood) compared to cerebrospinal fluid because glucose is actively transported from blood into the brain. Normal CSF glucose levels are around 60-70% of plasma glucose levels.
Which part of the blood transport carbon dioxide and glucose?
Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood by red blood cells in the form of bicarbonate ions. Glucose is transported in the blood by plasma, the liquid component of the blood.
What is plasma found in?
Blood plasma is 95% water. Other components of blood plasma include clotting factors, proteins, and glucose; blood cells are not part of the plasma.
What tests are commonly performed on blood plasma?
Fasting Blood Glucose Lipid Profile Fasting Blood Glucose Lipid Profile
How does glucagon change plasma glucose?
Glucagon increases amount of glucose in blood by breaking down of glycogen to glucose .
1 Plasma blood glucose is higher than whole blood glucose by what percentage?
i know it's higher than corresponding blood glucose concentration from 10 - 15%
Is glucose a component of plasma?
Yes. Whole blood minus the blood cells leaves you with plasma, which includes all dissolved materials.
What is the blood in your body made up of?
plasma, glucose,oxygen,etc.
What is the difference between plasma and whole blood?
There is an interesting relationship between plasma and whole blood. Whole blood contains plasma but plasma does not contain whole blood.
