What are the benefits of a glucometer?
It is well known that testing blood glucose levels with a glucometer at home is one of the best ways to manage diabetes. It can help test blood glucose at any time of the day and anywhere. Using a portable glucometer is the best way to test glucose when travelling. Charting of blood glucose levels becomes easy with glucometers especially with devices having memory options to store previous readings.
What is a normal glucometer reading?
According to the American Diabetes Association, the fasting or preprandial blood glucose levels for individuals with diabetes should lie between the range of 80 – 130 mg/dl and postprandial (1-2 hours after meals) should be less than 180 mg/dl.
How often should the blood glucose be tested?
For type 1 diabetes, checking the blood glucose levels several times a day (pre and post-meals, before and after exercise) is needed or as advised by the doctor. Whereas, for type 2 diabetes, the frequency of monitoring the sugar levels might be based on the severity of the condition, which can be several times a day, once a day, or thrice a week.
To use the glucometer, first wash your hands with soap and water, pat-dry them with a towel. Remove the diabetes test strip from the box of strips. Insert it into the slot on the glucometer just before you prick your finger. Next, use a clean lancet (a device that holds the needle) or insert a clean needle in the lancet, which can help you to prick the end of your finger. Prick the side of your fingertip and wait till blood oozes out. Wipe off the first drop gently and then put a drop or two onto the designated place on a test strip attached to the glucometer.
