Usage Note

Glucose is the same scientific term in French as in English, used in medicine, biology, and food labelling. In French health discourse, taux de glucose (blood glucose level) is a common phrase associated with diabetes management. Food labels often list glucose separately from saccharose (sucrose), making the distinction practically useful.

Examples

"Son taux de glucose est trop élevé."

Natural Translation

Her blood glucose level is too high.

Literal Translation

Her glucose level is too elevated.
