Then after a certain length of time wipes the blood off and compares it to the chart on the bottle of the reagent strips. This chart then shows how much sugar is in the blood. The other way to test blood sugar levels is by a computerized glucometer. A recent study at the University of Texas in Dallas showed that computerized blood glucose monitors were helpful in maintaining better records of Hemoglobin A 1c levels. They also reminded individuals when to test their levels, kept records of levels in memory, and were able to make graphs of results.
Testing is the key factor in diabetes.
Diabetes can be deadly if not diagnosed and efficiently evaluated regularly.
