the whole system before running a blood glucose test.
What does blood glucose monitoring do for me?
Blood glucose levels change during the day due to medication,
exercise, diet, insulins or hypoglycemics (oral agents) or possibly
stress and illness. Blood glucose testing provides information that
will help you understand the changes. This information can help
you manage your diabetes to keep your blood sugar levels within
your target range.
Do I need to read this book?

For short simple instructions, a quick reference guide is also pro-
vided for your convenience with procedures and information
most often needed. It can be useful when traveling.
