A lancet device is like a thick pen with a needle. You flip a lever and that sends the needle into your finger. You then put the drop of blood on a glucose meter. That is a small machine that tells you what the level of sugar is in your blood. The optimum level should be 120 but a little bit higher or lower isn t bad.
Diabetes can stress out the whole family.
It can be difficult keeping blood sugar levels in the right range while your friends run around eating candy. Diabetes can be hard but eventually you can get the hang of it.
