=**Effect of Apple Juice on Blood Glucose Levels**=


 * Abstract:**

Blood glucose is the amount of sugar in the blood. it is measured in mg/dL. A healthy blood glucose level is between 80 mg/dL and 120 mg/dL. We are measuring the effect apple juice has on your blood glucose levels after one week. the control group will be drinking only water for one week while the experimantal group will be drinking only apple juice for one week. at the end of the one week experimental period both the control and experimental groups will have their blood glucose levels tested with a SurgiLance Safety Lancet and a FreeStyle Lite Blood Glucose Testing Sysytem. The results from both the prelimenary and post experimental blood glucose tests will be recorded into a table and the differencial percentage will be found.
 * Introduction:**

Three male students and one female student, ages 15-16 will be split up into two groups. The experimental group will drink just apple juice for one week while the control group drinks just water. We will take a baseline blood sugar test using a SurgiLance Safety Lancet and a FreeStyle Lite Blood Glucose Testing System. At the end of the week another blood sugar test will be made and the results will be recorded to compare with the baseline test so we may observe the difference fruit juice makes on blood sugar levels.
