Blood glucose: self-monitoring

  • You should regularly monitor your blood glucose. This will ensure your treatment is working properly and will help prevent or delay the onset of complications.

     

  • Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels need not be a hassle and plays an active part in your ability to maintain a happy, enjoyable life.

     

  • Keep asking questions about blood glucose testing and keep practising blood testing until you feel confident and comfortable about your technique.

     

  • Several factors, including equipment faults and human error, may influence the reliability of your test results.

     

  • Record your results in a record book and take them to your diabetes advisers on each visit.
