How to use glucometers?
Glucometers are useful devices to identify blood sugar values in seconds. Before using glucometer, wash your hands and completely dry them with a clean towel. It is advisable to test the blood from the left hand fingers, so that it will not pain during our routine activities since we don't often use our left hands. It is better to prick in the left hand middle or ring finger, which is often less used. Wipe over the finger side, with dry cotton, where you want to prick. Load the glucose strip in the glucometer and verify the code every time. And also check for the expiry date of glucose strips. Press your finger tip with other finger in such a way that it collects some pooled blood from the finger tip. Prick the finger's side; not the bulb tip, as bulb tips are more painful due to the presence of more nerve endings. Prick the finger side with sterile needle or sterile needle loaded in plunger. Once the blood drop symbol appears on the glucometers, you can apply blood to the strips. Depending upon the brand of glucometer, either blood has to be applied to the strips before or after loading in the glucometer. We can test blood sugar in glucometers once in two weeks or whenever we had a doubt about glycemic status (both low and high sugar). Nowadays we have glucowatch which monitor blood sugar in every five seconds using inotoporosis.
