There are 10 deciliters in a liter, so if there are 95 mg glucose / dL, just multiply by ten to find the amount per liter. This works because you have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 to maintain the same ratio. So the answer is 950 mg/ liter.

1 Litre = 10 Deciltre (dL)
So according to your question,
1 dL of blood has 95 mg of sugar
10 dL would have 950 mg of sugar
that means in one litre of blood 950gms of sugar would be present.

Assess The State of Health of Your Pancreas...
http://www.rajeun.net/assesspancreas.html
50 grams of glucose in 5 liters of blood will raise glucose levels 100 points, unless your pancrease is working and insulin brings it down.... If you are very "Big" you might have up to 7 liters of blood... 50 grams of glucose in 7 liters of blood will raise glucose levels about 70 points, unless your pancreas is working and insulin brings it down.
The link above might help you figure it out. Sorry I really have no idea but this might help.
