Testing Your Blood Sugar
How to Test Your Blood SugarOne of the most important tests to help you manage your diabetes is the one you do yourself. This is the blood-sugar reading that you may take several times a day. Your doctor will tell you how often to test your blood sugar.
Often your home tests show blood sugar levels that are about 10% lower than levels found in lab tests. So, it's important to also have your blood sugar tested by your doctor.
Checking your blood sugar regularly helps you and your doctor see how your diabetes management plan is working. Your aim is to lower your blood sugar level and keep it there.
Use a Blood Sugar Log to record your blood sugar readings throughout the day. Make extra copies so that you always have enough on hand.
