Interesting. Aren't there blood tests that are done for studies during
rides? Are those considered invasive and thus reason for DQ? Or is it
the way the information is used taken into consideration to decide
whether a rule was broken? If the rider had not added corn syrup, but
had just taken the sample to be analyzed later, would that be ok?

My other questions are still valid, as I would imagine this would be an
interesting thing to see in training and would transfer over to rides,
even if the glucometer is a no-no at a ride.

There are some indications that use of these devices at an endurance
ride would be in violation of the AERC drug policy since it is an
invasive test. I know of at least one person DQed after they added corn
syrup to the horse's feed after they had indications of low blood
glucose derived from a blood sample.
