| Know Your Blood Glucose Levels Results of the 10-year Diabetes Control and Complications Trial
(DCCT), the most comprehensive diabetes study ever conducted, proved that keeping your
blood glucose level as close to normal as possible can reduce the risk of complications
involving the eyes, kidneys, and nervous system by up to 60%.
Frequent self-monitoring of blood glucose is key to
tracking how well you are managing the factors that most influence your diabetes--diet,
exercise, medication, and stress.
 | For people with Type I diabetes, self- monitoring four times
or more per day is recommended to maintain near-normal blood glucose levels and gain tight
control. |
| For people with Type 11 diabetes, self- monitoring one to
two times per day is recommended to avoid hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia symptoms. |
| Taking the time to log your insulin dosages and activities
such as exercise or meal times, along with your blood glucose results, will help you and
your healthcare professional in making important treatment decisions. |
| Periodically looking at test result averages will give you
an overall progress report. |
Today, some blood glucose monitors offer a variety of
features to help make testing easier, such as no wiping or timing, memory, insulin
recording, carbohydrate counting, automatic averaging and computer download capabilities
to facilitate trend analysis. Your doctor or diabetes educator can help you choose a blood
glucose monitoring system and testing schedule that are right for you.
Your best effort to keep your blood glucose in your target
range is beneficial. The closer to normal, the lower the risk of complications. Remember,
controlling blood glucose matters. You can improve your health and the quality of your
life now and in the years to come. |
