The correct blood glucose monitoring is an effective disease control diabetes, the main method, so what is the frequency of blood glucose monitoring and detection in the process of note are the sugar, the faithful must know.

Frequency of blood glucose test

① Whether treated with oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin therapy in patients when blood sugar is not compliance, the one day per week for at least 7 times the regular blood glucose measurements (ie, before meals 2 hours + after + meals blood sugar before going to sleep).

② treated with oral hypoglycemic agents in patients, if the blood sugar has been compliance, the law of life, the absence of exceptional circumstances, every two wins regulate blood sugar measured 7 times a day.

③ in patients treated with insulin if blood sugar has been compliance, the law of life, the absence of exceptional circumstances, for every 1 ~ 2 weeks to 7 times a day regular blood glucose measurements. Due to insulin dose or the type of adjustments would require seven times a day based on the results of blood glucose results or more times a day, four times the results of blood glucose is not comprehensive enough.

④ only detect "fasting" blood glucose and blood glucose 2 hours after lunch (or breakfast 2 hours after glucose), is not comprehensive, and should be corrected.

⑤ hospital outpatient only measured 2 hours after breakfast and lunch, 2 hours after glucose and other blood glucose test is unable to meet, take a patient at home, their own testing, so every diabetic must provide a blood glucose meter, and is carrying it. That is, if there is a 2 diabetes Zexu two glucose meters, blood glucose measured in time away from home may also be ready to capture special circumstances, blood glucose changes in a timely manner to capture the moment with low blood sugar. If the blood glucose meters does not carry with them, where there are special circumstances to go home after the test-retest is not the time to capture the real situation of blood sugar.

Notes

Blood glucose test strips should be used within 4 months

Some of his own at home blood glucose measurements in patients with blood glucose monitoring is not so ground, and sometimes a bottle of test strips can be used in the first half or even one year. In fact, this approach is wrong, under normal circumstances, blood glucose test strips to open bottles, the shelf life of only 4 months, 4 months must be used within. Effects of cold, heat, wave of the polluted environment and the test paper will affect the blood glucose testing accuracy.

In addition, taking the bottle from the test paper test paper, you can not pour the test strip all must be the remainder of the test paper test strips remain in the original bottle, take finished test strip, immediately after the sealed bottle caps, stored in a dry, cool, dark place to preserve . But also on a regular basis using standard dipstick testing and quality control solution, to calibrate the accuracy of blood glucose meters.
