A
glucometer is a small, portable device that delivers a blood sugar level reading in moments. Individuals living with diabetes are commonly advised to test their glucose levels throughout the day with a glucometer and
glucometer supplies, which include
test strips and
lancets.
Utilizing a glucometer can help diabetics avoid the potentially life-threatening health complications which may occur if their blood sugar dips too low or becomes too high. This device can also assist them in managing their diabetes on the go. It can provide insight into whether their medications are working effectively and help them reach their target blood glucose levels.
How to Use a Glucometer & Glucometer Supplies
Glucometers are designed to be simple and convenient to use virtually anywhere - at home, work, school, etc. Here are the general steps for using a glucometer and related glucometer supplies in order to obtain a blood sugar reading:
- First things first, wash your hands thoroughly. Then, insert a test strip into your glucometer.
- Now, use a lancet (a tiny needle) to prick one of your fingertips. You may also choose to use a lancing device to minimize discomfort from the prick.
- Once you have a small sample of blood (about a drop), press your fingertip against the test strip so that the blood sample gets transferred.
- Your results should appear on the glucometer display within a few seconds. Some glucometers will give you the option to save your reading so that you can track your blood sugar levels over time.
- After you've recorded your reading, properly dispose of your glucometer supplies in a designated receptacle.
This is the basic process for using a glucometer and glucometer supplies. As you can see, it only requires a few steps and can be completed in minutes.
