Why are more doctors recommending that their patients self test?
Self testing gives patients better control over their own health in several ways. First, it allows them to easily test more frequently, which has proven to help stay in range and avoid complications. Second,it allows them to test at home, reducing the cost, time and inconvenience of traveling to the lab or doctor’s office for a simple test. Lastly, because the doctor is alerted sooner to your test results, he or she can adjust your dosage more quickly in order to avoid any complications that might otherwise have occurred.
