The variation in the sugar content of the blood in certain pathological conditions has created the need for modes of estimation which require only a small amount of blood and at the same time give sufficiently reliable results. The more recent methods of estimation fall under three types: (1) those in which the method of Rona and Michaelis for the precipitation of the protein is combined with Bertrand's method for sugar estimation, (2) MacLean's more recent method, and (3) the “micro-method” of Ivar Bang.
