How to monitor your blood glucose

A My Blood Pressure customer emailed me this week to share that he had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. He was a little upset and confused as to what it meant.

I found a great video for him that is helpful for anyone who wants to start monitoring and controlling their blood glucose or who has just been diagnosed with diabetes. I liked the way it describes how self monitoring can help manage blood glucose levels. I thought it is similar to how self monitoring of blood pressure can help control blood pressure!

The diabetes educator in the video shows just how easy it is to take a blood glucose reading and what the numbers mean. This is a great video for anyone who may be at risk for diabetes.

Just don’t forget to record and chart your blood glucose readings with My Blood Glucose software.
