How to Check Blood Glucose

As the world population eats more and more processed foods and becomes less active Diabetes increases and millions of people are effected. Many new patients are so overwhelmed they do not know what questions to ask their health care providers or by the time they get home they have forgotten much of the information. Giving the learner a flexible non-threatening environment to learn the process of drawing blood is a lesson that is needed.

Although there are lots of web based and face to face instruction, this lesson is designed to be short and simple for the newly diagnosed. The main goal for a diabetic is to control their blood glucose in order to avoid complications. The main areas of instruction for this are medication, nutrition and exercise.

Diabetes is a disease that affects each person a little differently, and the best way to tell if the medication, dieting and exercise are working is through blood glucose readings. So this one area of instruction is vital to all three main areas. Most web sites focus on all facets of Diabetes, while this lesson focuses mainly on using a glucose meter.

This web based instruction includes; written text, a video that shows how to do the glucose test from start to finish, a quiz, the recommended glucose levels and many additional resources for the new diabetic patient.
