What does a blood glucose monitor do?
As a diabetic teenager, your healthcare team should have shown you how to use a blood glucose meter. When you test your blood using a meter, the result will display how much glucose is in your blood. The meter reads off your results by combining your blood (by pricking your finger) with a test strip. Meters and test strips from a reputed provider are completely accurate, providing the equipment is properly looked after and test is correctly carried out.
