All About A Blood Sugar Tester?
A blood sugar tester is sometimes known as a glucose meter reader. It's used to test the blood sugar or glucose level in people with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. How They Function A blood sugar tester works by analyzing a teeny sample of a person's blood to determine their blood glucose reading. Proper levels of blood glucose are essential for overall health. The user usually waits one to two hours after having eaten a meal before testing. He can also test right before he eats a meal, and even throughout the day at several hour intervals to get a comparison baseline reading of what range his blood sugar is at. The exact way to use a blood sugar tester is to take a slim looking, pen type device and stab the side of the index finger so that a drop of blood is drawn out. That drop is then dabbed onto a small strip that's inserted into the tester. In less than five seconds, a certain numerical value such as 110 will show up on the tester's digital display. This is the blood glucose reading. How to Interpret the Results For diabetics, there's a numerical range that's considered a safe range. If the readouts are anywhere between 70-110, that's considering an excellent level. The lower the better. But not to low, for a person could become hypoglycemic. If the readings are too high, say 430, then the person is hyperglycemic and requires immediate emergency medical assistance, with usually a subcutaneous injection of insulin to quickly and dramatically reduce the sugar level in his bloodstream and body. If most diabetics eat a proper diet and perform some daily exercise, they should have their diabetes under control. Some diabetics have to also take oral insulin tablets or inject themselves with insulin several times a day while they're continually monitoring their blood sugar readings throughout the day with the glucose tester. These blood sugar testers are very advanced and sophisticated pieces of equipment. They're also exquisitely sensitive to the precise blood sugar readings in a person's body. They should be careful not to be repeatedly dropped or bent as this will ruin their accuracy and functioning ability. Most of these testers are about the size of half a human fist, but some of the newer models are much smaller, and the injection pen doesn't sting as much when the drop of blood is drawn. With some testing kits, the diabetic can even prick an area on his forearm instead of his finger for even less pain.
