Measuring regularly helps to avoid too high and too low values. Modern blood glucose meters measure a precise blood glucose value with just a tiny fresh drop of blood from the fingertip. With a few tips on what you should keep in mind when\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/self-monitoring\">measuring blood sugar<\/a>, you have the tools to actively manage your diabetes. See how\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/nutrition-and-diabetes\">diet<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/exercise\">exercise\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/therapy-of-diabetes\">medication<\/a>\u00a0influence your blood sugar. Based on the measured blood sugar and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/hba1c\">HbA1c\u00a0<\/a>values, you can also see whether your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/target-range-of-blood-glucoes-values\">blood sugar setting<\/a>\u00a0has worsened. If this is the case, you can take countermeasures or contact your doctor to discuss and implement necessary measures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">By knowing that you will receive the results of the measurements, you can prevent acute metabolic disorders and protect yourself from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/secondary-diseases\">secondary diabetic diseases<\/a>. Especially for people with diabetes who inject\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/therapy-of-diabetes\/types-of-insulin-therapy\">insulin<\/a>, self-monitoring is of great importance, as they determine the insulin dose based on the measured values.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">It is particularly important to enter the measured values in a diary and to present this diary to the doctor during the regular check-ups. Daily mean values allow conclusions to be drawn about the current\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/hba1c\">HbA1c\u00a0<\/a>value and thus the quality of diabetes control.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c3748\" class=\"frame frame-default frame-type-textpic frame-background-none frame-no-backgroundimage frame-space-before-none frame-space-after-none\">\n<div class=\"frame-container\">\n<div class=\"frame-inner\">\n<header>\n<h4 class=\"element-header \">Why Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose?<\/h4>\n<\/header>\n<ul class=\"list-normal\">\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Protection against\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/hypoglycaemia\">hypoglycemia\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/hyperglycaemia\">hyperglycemic decompensation<\/a>\u00a0or a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/ketoacidosis\">diabetic ketiacidosis<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Better understanding and better control of your diabetes<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Higher quality of life level with more safety during leisure time, work, vacation and sports<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Insight in metabolic processes of the body<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Information about impact of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/exercise\">exercise<\/a>, hormonal influences and stressy situations on blood glucose<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Better understanding of therapeutical measures<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Tighter control and trusty relation with the diabetes care team<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Self responsibility for treatment<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Better options in work<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Smaller number of ill staff and less time spent in hospital<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Higher expectancy of life through prevention of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/secondary-diseases\">diabetic late complications<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c3749\" class=\"frame frame-default frame-type-text frame-background-none frame-no-backgroundimage frame-space-before-none frame-space-after-none\">\n<div class=\"frame-container\">\n<div class=\"frame-inner\">\n<header>\n<h4 class=\"element-header \">When and how often taking a measurement?<\/h4>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">The frequency of measuring depends on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/therapy-of-diabetes\">kind of therapy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a person with type 2 diabetes on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/therapy-of-diabetes\/oral-antidiabetic-drugs\">oral\u00a0<\/a>and\/or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/therapy-of-diabetes\/types-of-insulin-therapy\">insulin therapy<\/a>\u00a0or if you administer insulin twice a day during a Conventional Therapy you should consider with your physician and healthcare team all details regarding\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/self-monitoring\">blood glucose testing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you perform Intensified Insulin Therapy or you wear an insulin pump the frequency of blood sugar testing should be minimum 6 times a day:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-normal\">\n<li class=\"text-justify\">After getting up \/ before breakfast<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Before lunch<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Before dinner<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Before going to bed<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">If required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">In special situations the blood sugar should be tested more frequently, e.g. when you suspect\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/hyperglycaemia\">hyperglycemia\u00a0<\/a>or even\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/en\/diabetes\/ketoacidosis\">ketoacidosis<\/a>, illnesses with fever, nausea or diarrhoea, intake of new medication or strong interferences of the daily life (night shift, holidays abroad with time delay).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c3750\" class=\"frame frame-default frame-type-textpic frame-background-none frame-no-backgroundimage frame-space-before-none frame-space-after-none\">\n<div class=\"frame-container\">\n<div class=\"frame-inner\">\n<header>\n<h4 class=\"element-header \">Measurement Systems \/ Calibration<\/h4>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">There are two ways to measure the blood sugar depending on the used meter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reflector system:<\/strong><br \/>\nPhotometric measurement is based on an enzymatic reaction and consequent colour reaction in the testing zone of the test strip. The intensity of the colour is identified by the meter and is then calculated into a corresponding blood glucose value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biosensors:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe main difference between sensors and colour based test strips is that the glucose reaction is linked with a biochemical reaction which leads to an electric signal. This current can be measured and corresponds with an exact blood glucose value.<\/p>\n<p>Meters from former generations have to be coded by inserting a chip or by entering a special combination of numbers when opening a new vial of test strips. Most of the recent meters are now based on the new No Code technology.<\/p>\n<p>The glucose range that can be measured is between 20 and 600 mg\/dl (1.1 \u2013 33.3 mmol\/l).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Calibration<\/strong><br \/>\nBlood glucose meters can be calibrated on whole blood or plasma (please refer to the Instructions for Use of your meter). The absolute majority of meters today available are plasma referenced.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: Plasma referenced meters show 10 \u2013 15% higher values! Do not use contemporarily meters of different manufacturers as the meters could show results which deviate a lot from each other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c3751\" class=\"frame frame-default frame-type-textpic frame-background-none frame-no-backgroundimage frame-space-before-none frame-space-after-none\">\n<div class=\"frame-container\">\n<div class=\"frame-inner\">\n<header>\n<h4 class=\"element-header \">Blood Sampling<\/h4>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">People with diabetes use the lateral sides of the fingertips to get a blood sample. Blood circulation is fine there and it is easy to get enough blood. Avoid the middle part of the fingertips as pricking there is very painful due to the high density of sensitive receptors.<\/p>\n<p>One should consider the following topics to reduce problems with finger pricking:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-normal\">\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Hands should be thoroughly washed with warm water and soap and then dried. Beside the cleaning effect blood circulation is improved. Disinfection is not needed \u2013 alcohol residues could lead to wrong result.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">The lateral sides of the fingertips should be punctured to avoid pain \u2013 in the middle part of the fingertips are more sensitive receptors. Avoid to puncture the nail bed which could lead to inflammations.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Replace the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellion.at\/shop\/produkte\/blutzucker-mehr-messen\/lanzetten\/181\/wellion-lanzetten-28g?c=49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lancet\u00a0<\/a>every time after using it once \u2013 the needle will lose its sharp cut tip or could be bent. This will lead to more pain and will damage the skin.

As the size of the blood sample is depending from the depth of the puncture and not from the diameter of the lancet a blood drop of sufficient size is produced. Modern blood glucose meters only need very small blood samples.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Use different fingers for pricking \u2013 some people do not like to use the small finger or the thumb for getting a blood sample.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">If possible use fingers of both hands to get a blood sample.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Try to find your optimal depth for puncture: maybe you do not have to prick very deep to get an appropriate blood sample. You can also press gently the arm or finger towards the end, shake the arm or let it hang down to improve process of blood sampling.
