Blood glucose testing, also referred to as self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), is a great way to develop an understanding of your own diabetes.
Over time, with regular structured blood testing, you’ll build up a good knowledge of how your sugar levels respond to different meals and activities, and you’ll be well placed to tailor your lifestyle to keep improving your diabetes control.
Ultimately, this should help you to reduce your HbA1c and the risk of developing the long term complications of diabetes.
This video will now explain in more detail how blood glucose testing helps to build an understanding of diabetes.
