How is blood glucose measured with MyStar Extra Kit?

To measure your blood glucose correctly, you need to perform the test steps accurately and meticulously.

• Insert the end of the test strip into the appropriate section;
• Wait for the glucometer to turn on;
• Bring the drop of blood close to the test strip to make it absorb efficiently;
• Wait for the glucometer to analyze the sample to know the result;
• The result of the blood glucose test appears on the display;
• Turn off the device by removing the test strip.

When is blood glucose measured?

In blood glucose self-check analysis tests you need to know that you need to be regular in measuring your blood glucose levels. Precisely for this reason, diabetic experts recommend carrying out a blood glucose analysis test from 1 to 4 times a day and at different times of the day. In particular, it is recommended to measure blood sugar:

• Before the meal with the pre-meal measurement;
• 2 hours after the time of the meal called post-meal measurement;
• The evening;
• Before getting insulin;
• When you experience the symptoms of high blood sugar.

What should be the blood glucose values?

It is very important to have blood glucose values under control after meals and in particular after lunch and after dinner, especially for people with diabetes who can recognize the symptoms of an alteration in blood glucose and intervene in time.

• Blood glucose values after lunch: the post-meal measurement should be taken at least two hours after lunch or dinner and the values should not exceed 140 mg / dl
• Fasting blood glucose values: this is a measurement that must be taken between meals. Glucose values should be between 65-100 mg / dl.
