Blood Glucose Monitoring System

Why is Glucose Monitoring important to Diabetes?

Glucose is a sugar that your body uses as a source of energy. Unless you have diabetes, your body regulates the amount of glucose in your blood. People with diabetes may need special diets and medications to control blood glucose.

Why should you take this test?

You should take this test if you have diabetes and you need to monitor your blood sugar (glucose) levels. You and your doctor can use the results to:

• determine your daily adjustments in treatment
• know if you have dangerously high or low levels of glucose
• understand how your diet and exercise change your glucose levels
