Diabetes Supplies

• Diabetes supplies and medications are critical to
  managing diabetes. Take a look at this article to
  ensure you are getting proper supplies for your
  diabetes management regimen.
• If you have diabetes, managing the disease is no
  easy task. You need to take care of your health
  by following the proper diet, exercising
  regularly, and getting regular blood glucose
  testing.

Why is home blood glucose testing important?

• Self-testing will allow you to find out what your
  blood glucose levels are at different times of
  the day, what food causes your blood glucose
  levels to spike, and how long it will take for
  your blood sugar level to respond after consuming
  a particular type of food.
• It is not just about knowing where you stand at
  any given time, but also about being able to
  predict when you are going to have low or high
  levels of glucose in your blood.

Blood Sugar Meters, Blood Lancets, and Diabetic
Test Strips

• Blood sugar meters are used to get an accurate
  reading of what your blood glucose levels are.
  The meters will come with instructions on how to
  use them correctly.
• You will also need to test your blood or take a
  drop of blood from the tip of the finger with
  special lancets, which will later be placed on a
  disposable strip to allow you to read your blood
  sugar levels.
