It is considered high when it is over 150.
Depends on the meter
Glucometer
fasting blood sugar and random blood sugar the are both determine by use of glucometer
Yes, I would have these tests and use the glucometer to check your blood sugar.
The device used to check levels of blood-sugar is called a glucometer. Blood is collected with a lancet device, then transferred onto a test strip. The glucometer measures the amount of glucose in the drop of blood and gives an indicating number value.
As a registered nurse, I have used many different glucometers. Each glucometer has it's own specific instructions for properly checking your blood sugar. It's best to read the manual of your personal glucometer to make sure you are using the proper method.
You can check your blood sugar level - by the glucometer or laboratory to make sure that the symptoms are hypoglycemia. Low levels of glucose in the blood can cause serious complications and even coma.
my blood sugar reading was 78 is that normal
A little machine called a glucometer. It measures your blood sugar. It's for diabetics to test themselves at home.
You should also make sure you have a glucometer to check your blood sugar levels after you eat and during the symptoms
This sounds more of a homework question than an 'out of interest' one, haha :).. So they can check their blood glucose levels and make sure they are within the normal, healthy target range. If the BG level is low, they take sugar and if the BG level is high they take more insulin. :)
A blood sugar chart is simply a piece of paper used by diabetics to write down their blood sugar readings. Notebook paper can be used, or templates can be found online. They use a glucometer to record their blood sugar, then write down the number and the time and day it was taken. Doctors use this chart to determine if the medications being given are doing their job.
A blood glucose measurement determines the amount of sugar or glucose in the blood. A normal blood sugar reading before eating is between 70 to 90mg/dL. Provided you did not have anything to eat prior to the test, your blood sugar level reading is in the normal range.
