Learning the proper approach to blood glucose testing is critical for monitoring your blood sugar and controlling your diabetes.

Here is a great introductory video from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that covers the basics on how to use your blood glucose meter or monitor.

As the video discusses, proper glucose testing is the key to taking stock of how well you are doing in your efforts to control diabetes. If you are doing well, great. Keep up the good work.
