- aesh2Xa1 1y agoYes, but the relative amount per volume blood should be the same. I think that's why he's asking. If so, the answer is that the body replenishes plasma in a day and red cells in six weeks (redcrossblood.org FAQ). The relative amount does change quickly.
- nradov 1y agoThere is very little glucose in circulating blood at any given time. Unless you have severe uncontrolled diabetes (or a similar condition) your body regulates blood glucose level within a low, narrow range. Most glucose is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen.
