A blood sugar measuring instrument for measuring thenblood sugar level of blood on the basis of change in the colornof the reagent having reacted with the blood. The instrumentnirradiates light onto a specimen to which blood is applied,ndetects the intensity of the reflected light with a photondetector, determines absorbency from the specimen every onensecond after the specimen has started coloring by the appliednblood, and calculates the blood sugar level of the bloodnapplied to the specimen on the basis of the absorbency whennchange in the absorbency has become 2% or less. |
