What does blood glucose monitoring do for me?
Blood glucose levels change during the day due to medication,
exercise, diet, insulins or hypoglycemics (oral agents) or possibly
stress and illness. Blood glucose testing provides information that
will help you understand the changes. This information can help
you manage your diabetes to keep your blood sugar levels within
your target range.
Prepare for the Test:
You will need a Microlet Lancing
Device and Lancet to stick your fin-
ger, then cotton or tissue for wiping
the finger after testing.
1. Wash your hands with warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
2. Pull the endcap from the
Microlet Device.
3. Push Microlet Lancet all the
way in.
4. Twist off Lancet cap.
5. Snap the endcap back on.
See Microlet package insert for
more details on how to use the
Microlet Device.
