Diabetic Supply Equipment for Testing and Regulating Diabetes ?
Some diabetic supply equipment is used to test and monitor a patient's ketone and blood glucose levels. In order to test these levels, the patient must pierce their skin with a lancing device and collect their blood with a testing strip. The strip is inserted into a blood glucose monitor to determine the current blood glucose level. Insulin will either be taken orally via pills or injected by syringes to regulate the patient's blood glucose.
