I haveIf you are a diabetic, you probably know the importance of monitoring your blood sugar levels. The easiest and most efficient way to monitor your blood sugar is with a glucose meter (aka glucometer or glucose monitor). Glucose meters themselves are relatively inexpensive, but the glucose test strips can get quite pricey. You will need a new strip for each test and if you test your glucose levels several times a day, you'll be using a lot of strips.....
If you've recently been diagnosed with Type I or Type II diabetes, one of the first considerations will be keeping the disease under control. Your physician may recommend regular self-testing of your blood with the assistance of a blood glucose meter. If so, this is nothing to fear.
