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.

Do insulin-dependent diabetics ever inject themselves with glucagon or cortisol?

Glucagon, yes. Cortisol, probably not. Glucagon raises blood sugar. Many type one diabetics own glucagon injectors, so that when their blood sugar goes too low they (or someone with them) can inject them with glucagon. Cortisol does raise blood sugar, but it is not used to raise blood sugar. It's used to treat many other diseases, but not the low blood sugar which type 1 diabetics sometimes get.
