Why
should I test my blood glucose (sugar) level?
Testing
your blood glucose (sugar) level will show you how food,
physical activity and diabetes medications are affecting
your blood glucose (sugar).
The
readings from these tests will help you manage your
diabetes day by day, or even hour by hour! Keep a record
of your test results to review with your health care
provider.
Keeping
your blood glucose (sugar) level as close to normal
as possible may also help you prevent the onset, or
lessen the severity of diabetes-related health complications.
