What does blood glucose monitor-
ing 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.
