Blood Glucose Testing - Bayer HealthCare Ascensia Elite XL User Manual

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.
