That illustration with the sugar cubes
[edit]The Scientific Animations illustration included here (File:Hypoglycemia.jpg) depicts blood sugar as literal sugar cubes (extremely unrealistic) inside realistic depictions of blood vessels (with somewhat realistic-looking wall structures and erythrocytes). I think this is more likely to confuse than inform the novice reader not well-versed in (bio)chemistry. Perhaps we should add a clarifying note, or maybe just get rid of it?
