What is the point of capillary blood glucose monitoring?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diabetes: CBG testing at home is the only way we have to monitor control of diabetes from one part of the day to the next. It is particularly important to those on medication for diabetes, especially when on oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin. We always ask patients to test blood sugar at least @ b, l, d, bedtime & or when taking Insulin as the dose may need to be adjusted based on blood sugar & food intake.
