Measuring your blood sugar ten times a day can be little tricky sometime.
You need to take of many things while conducting the test.
I will tell you some basic things that you should consider: *Try to wash your hands with soap or some antibacterial solution.
This will ensure that test is cleanly conducted.
*Always try to make sure that you have placed the meter at a proper and flat surface as the tangled surfaces can affect your test result.
*First you should carefully follow the steps as how to read the test strip properly.
*When you are about to take the blood sample rub your finger or the body part from where you are taking sample so that the blood circulation becomes good.
*If you are using finger for taking blood sample then pierce it from side or tip of the finger.
Then squeeze the test strip against it to get a good blood sample.
*Read the instructions carefully and wait for the proper time for the device to finish the test.
When the result is shown note it down in your log book but modern glucose meters provide you the facility of storing the test result automatically.
