What method is used for monitoring blood glucose levels in diabetic patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Monitoring glucose: Monitoring glucose depends on what type and degree of diabetes you have. If you are type 1 - unlikely in the 40's - you will need insulin all day, every day and measure regularly Medicine for type 2 diabetes may require a good diet and just one pill or you may need more and stronger medicine and possibly insulin. The fewer meds the less often you need to measure. The more insulin - more checking
