How can I measure blood sugar levels?
You can learn to measure blood sugar levels simply and quickly with a home blood glucose level testing kit. All kits have at least two things: a measuring device and a strip.
To check your blood sugar level, put a small amount of blood on the strip. Now place the strip into the device. After about 30 seconds it will display the blood glucose level.
The best way to take a blood sample is by pricking your finger with a sharp lancet that's designed to penetrate the skin only as far as needed to draw a drop of blood.
