Monitoring Blood Sugar

Monitoring your blood sugar level is an important part of controlling your diabetes. Work closely with your diabetes care team to make sure you’re able to self-manage as best you can.

Remember to keep your meter and supplies with you at all times.

Check expiration dates as needed.

Track your numbers in a log or diary using an app or even pen and paper.
