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. :)

Blood glucose is measured by an electrical current that is produced when a blood samples mixes with the reagent (special chemicals) of the test strip. The electrical current changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample. The XPRESSGLUCO+ meter measures the strength of the electrical current, calculates your blood glucose level and then displays your result in either milligrams of glucose per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles of glucose per liter (mmol/L).
