Dr Morepen Blood Glucose Test Strips BG-03 (25 Count)

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the main disadvantage of using a glucometer?
  People with diabetes need to monitor their blood glucose level regularly and that is why they prick daily or even more than once a day. This constant pricking at a site can cause skin changes.
• Do all diabetics need glucometer?
  It is generally unnecessary in people who manage their diabetes with diet alone or who take medications that do not cause hypoglycemia, especially if they have reached their blood glucose goals. Your health care provider can help you determine how frequently to check your blood glucose based on your situation.
• Can I squeeze my finger for blood sugar test?
  After pricking your finger with the lancet, you should need to apply only slight pressure to release blood flow. If you need to apply a lot of pressure to produce a sample, that finger may not be the best testing site for you. Squeezing or milking the finger can contaminate the sample and lead to inaccurate results.
• How soon after waking up should I test my blood sugar?
  In most cases, doctors ask people to measure fasting blood sugar immediately upon waking and before they have anything to eat or drink. It may also be appropriate to test blood sugar before eating or 2 hours after a meal, which is when blood sugar returns to normal levels.
• Is testing blood sugar effective with Dr Morepen sugar test strips?
  Yes. Testing blood glucose frequently can help keep your diabetes under control. Dr Morepen bg03 strips require only a tiny drop of blood.
