Please clarify: Hi. The one touch test IS a glucose test! It is very reliable. If your glucose is 20 mM, you're blood glucose is very high. I have no idea what you mean by your "glucose test is negative"; blood glucose is NEVER negative. If you can clarify and provide more information, perhaps we can help. Good luck and happy 2015!
