blood sugars
Monitored glucose levels
Blood sugars is the plural of blood sugar, referring either to multiple measurements of glucose levels in the bloodstream or to the general concept of glucose regulation.
Diabetics monitor their blood sugars regularly: My blood sugars have been all over the place this week.
The phrase often appears in medical contexts discussing patterns over time rather than a single reading.
