Self-monitoring blood glucose
Self-monitoring of blood glucose is the process of monitoring your own blood glucose with a glucose meter.
You'll need to test your blood glucose with a glucose meter. First place a small sample of blood on a disposable test strip and place the strip in the meter. The test strips are designed and coated with chemicals such as glucose oxidase, dehydrogenase, or hexokinase that combine with glucose in blood.
The glucose meter measures how much glucose is in your blood. Some glucose meters do measurement in a different ways, some measure the amount of electricity that can pass through the blood sample or measure how much light reflects from it.
The glucose meter displays the glucose level in numbers. Several new models can record and store the test results that you took previously. Also, some models can connect the glucose meter to personal computers, by that you are allow to store test results in your PC or print them out.
