Blood Sugar Testing and Diabetes

DR. RASHMI GR , MBBS, Diploma in Diabetes Management

The main goal of diabetes treatment is to keep your blood sugar levels in target range.

If your blood sugar falls too low or rises too high, it can cause health problems.

Your doctor will regularly order an A1C test to monitor your average blood sugar levels and manage your diabetes.

Your doctor may recommend regular at-home blood sugar monitoring to help manage your condition effectively.

You can test your blood sugar at home by pricking your fingertip and using a blood glucose monitor.

You can opt for a continuous glucose monitor that tracks blood sugar levels using a sensor under your skin.

For Type 2 diabetes diet,exercise, lifestyle changes, meds, and regular checkups play a very important role.
