The most common method of testing blood glucose in diabetes patients is the finger prick. Learn how to test blood glucose from a doctor in this health video.
What is the rational for using the second drop of blood when using a glucometer? I have tried to look this up, but have no idea why I do this? Isn't the first one ok to use as long as my hands are clean and I have wiped with alcohol? Thanks
All this video does is tell you what blood glucose testing is. It doesn't show you ANYTHING. It should be titled "What Is Blood Glucose Testing?"
