Young diabetic girl testing her blood glucose level by using a self-monitoring finger stick device. Monitoring of blood glucose levels is frequently performed to guide therapy for persons with diabetes. Blood glucose monitoring and insulin administration can be accomplished in two ways: self-monitoring of blood glucose and insulin administration, where the individual performs all steps of the testing and insulin administration themselves, and assisted monitoring of blood glucose and insulin administration, where another person assists with or performs testing and insulin administration for an individual. It is very important to a diabetic's day to day health to control their blood glucose. Keeping glucose levels close to normal helps prevent, or delay some diabetes problems, such as eye disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage. | |
