How can I test my blood sugar at home?
You can test your blood sugar at home by using a traditional home glucose monitoring system, where you prick your finger to draw out a drop of blood to put on the test strip.
Place the strip into the meter that displays the blood sugar levels and record the level in case your healthcare provider needs to see the results.
Having a blood sugar reader at home enables you to check your sugar levels multiple times a day, helping you to keep an eye on your results so your healthcare provider can let you know how much medication to take.
What is the best time to check blood sugar?
It’s a good idea to tie your testing times into daily events, that way, you’ll always remember to check your levels. It’s best to test your blood sugar before all three of your meals, after exercise, and before you go to sleep.
It’s important to test before you eat as fasting glucose levels will give you a better, truer reading – if you forget and need to test after a meal, you should wait a couple of hours to ensure your reading is accurate.
Can you reuse a testing strip?
You can’t unfortunately, despite it sounding like a cost-effective option. Whatever you try to do – flip the strip over or try to remove the first blood sample – as soon as you put it into the meter, it will tell you that the strip is invalid.
If you’re lucky enough to get a reading at all, it cannot be trusted as an accurate reading as the strip has been tampered with. Manufacturers only put enough enzymes into the strip for one test and one test only – after it’s been used, there won’t be enough for another test.
