What is Blood Glucose Monitoring?
Blood glucose monitoring measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in your blood. It is an essential tool for people living with diabetes or those at risk of developing it. Regular testing helps you and your healthcare team understand how well your diabetes is being managed.
Why is it Important?
Keeping your blood glucose levels within a healthy range can help prevent serious long-term complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, and vision problems. Regular monitoring allows you to:
- Understand how food, exercise and medication affect your blood sugar
- Detect high or low blood sugar levels early
- Make informed decisions about your health
- Work with your doctor to adjust your treatment plan
