#2: GLUCOSE METERS & DIABETES MANAGEMENT
Glucose
Meters & Diabetes Management
When
people with diabetes can control their blood sugar (glucose), they
are more likely to stay healthy. People with diabetes use two kinds
of management devices: glucose meters and other diabetes management
tests. Glucose meters help people with diabetes check their blood
sugar at home, school, work, and play. Other blood and urine tests
reveal trends in diabetes management and help identify diabetes
complications.
