Why Monitor Blood Glucose Levels?

Monitoring blood glucose is vital for individuals with diabetes or those interested in maintaining healthy glucose levels. Keeping your blood sugar within the target range helps to:

• Prevent diabetes-related complications.
• Improve energy levels and overall health.
• Empower you to make informed decisions about food, exercise, and medications.

Key Benefits of Monitoring:

1. Personalized Control: Helps you understand how daily activities, meals, and medications impact your glucose levels.
2. Long-Term Insights: HbA1c testing provides a 12-week average of your glucose levels, showing how well-controlled your diabetes is.
3. Risk Reduction: Reduces the chances of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar). </aside>

• Suitable for individuals needing periodic checks throughout the day.

2. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Device

• A sensor placed under the skin (on the arm or abdomen) continuously tracks glucose levels.
• Real-time data is sent to a smartphone app or reader.
• Best for those needing close and frequent monitoring. </aside>
