Advance Blood Glucose Intuition Test StripWhen you are first diagnosed with diabetes, you may check your sugar levels quite often. Your finger tips will be sore, but they will eventually toughen up. Your doctor may ask you to check your sugar when you wake, before meals, two hours after meals, and before bed. Your doctor may even request that you set your alarm at night and do a middle of the night test. This can be quite tedious, however it may be necessary.
Testing Your Sugar Levels Is Important
Your blood glucose levels change throughout the day. You may rise with a blood sugar that is low, or high. Everyone is different and no two patients are alike. It is important all readings are charted so your doctor can prescribe the proper kind and amount of insulin your body needs. Once your readings have been regulated, you may not have to test as often.
American Diabetic Supply carries Advance Blood Glucose Test Strips. They work in conjunction with your monitor. These strips are very important and should be handled carefully. They should be disposed of in the same manner you dispose of syringes, since they do have your blood in them.
Most test strips do not require refrigeration and can be stored at room temperature. However, you should not let your strips be exposed to extreme heat. Always check the expiration date on your strips, and discard if out of date.
