Glucose is transported via the bloodstream. It is not, however, transported by the red or the white blood cell, it floats by itself. You do NOT test your sugar to see if glucose is there as such. Blood glucose is test for two reasons, to see if it is low and more sugar is needed which is hypoglycemia or to see if there is too much in which case insulin is needed. Glucose in of itself cannot cross the cell membrane alone. It requires the hormone insulin to escort it across. Diabetics do not have an excess of glucose, the reason their readings are high is because they do not have enough insulin to get the glucose into the cells so it therefore continues to float around in the blood.

Blood -- technically plasma rather than the blood cells themselves.
