THE SINGLE STICK BLOOD GLUCOSE TEST


The finger is pricked with a needle. The blood samples is placed on a stripe. The stripe is then placed
in the slot of the glucometer machine, which assesses your blood sugar level. This method is to be
used only to monitor your blood sugar levels at home.It is not completely reliable, so a venous sample
should also be assessed in the laboratory as guided by your doctor.
