Blood testing is primarily used to screen for, diagnose or monitor patients
with diabetes, a metabolic condition in which blood glucose levels are
too high because the body cannot produce enough insulin in the pancreas.
Following a heart attack or other serious illness, fasting glucose levels
will be temporarily high. Diabetic Drug Store offers many products for
home blood testing, from Accucheck to One Touch Ultra Test Strips.
Why blood testing?
To determine whether or not your blood glucose level is within normal
ranges; to screen for, diagnose, and monitor diabetes, pre-diabetes, and
hypoglycemia (low blood glucose)
When to get tested?
As part of a yearly physical and when you have symptoms suggesting hyperglycemia
(high blood glucose) or hypoglycemia, or if you are pregnant; if you are
diabetic, up to several times a day to monitor glucose levels.
Sample required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm, or for a self check, a drop
of blood from your finger.
Blood testing is available for home use and is the test of choice to
monitor blood glucose levels in diabetics. Advances in blood testing have
produced changes in blood glucose meters an the amount of blood required
for the blood test. Once only able to test using a hanging drop of blood
from the finger, diabetic can test their blood from the finger, forearm
and thigh now. These advances in blood testing reduce the pain associated
in daily diabetes testing and complications from repeated finger pricks.
Use our one touch ultra test strips to make sure your blood sugar levels
are in a safe range. |
