Blood Glucose Meter

An integral part of managing diabetes is keeping track of the blood glucose levels. This can be achieved by regular blood glucose measurement, using a blood glucose meter (see Figure 1).

Blood testing with meters using disposable test strips is the most common procedure diabetes patients follow.

This image shows an example of a blood glucose meter. It is light blue colored, with a test strip inserted. The screen is currently blank and not showing any information.
