Diabetes check (Blood Glucose)

Blood glucose testing is the process used to measure the concentration of glucose in your blood. A blood test involves pricking your finger with a small needle called a lancet, drawing a drop of blood from the finger and applying it to a test strip that has been engaged into a blood glucose meter.

Monitoring of blood glucose can be a beneficial part of diabetes detection and management. As part of the day-to-day routine it can help with necessary lifestyle and treatment choices as well as help to monitor for symptoms of hypo- or hyperglycaemia.
