FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do to check my blood sugar at home?
To check your blood sugar at home, you’ll usually need a glucose meter, compatible test strips, a lancing device, and lancets. Some people also keep alcohol swabs or a logbook nearby. We carry all of these and can help you choose the right options based on your needs.
How do I know if my glucose meter is giving accurate results?
Accuracy depends on the quality of the meter, using the right test strips, and following instructions closely. You can also compare your results with lab tests or ask your provider. If you’re ever unsure, we’re happy to walk you through accuracy checks and best practices.
How often should I change the supplies I use for testing?
Lancets are typically changed after each use, and test strips should never be used past their expiration date. Meters themselves may last several years but should be replaced if they stop working reliably. We help customers set up supply schedules to make this easier to manage.
What’s the difference between testing with blood versus urine strips?
Blood glucose strips measure your sugar level at the time you test, while urine strips check for sugar or ketones in your urine. Urine tests are more general, while blood tests give you precise numbers. We usually recommend blood glucose testing for daily monitoring but we can guide you through both options.
Can I check my sugar without pricking my finger?
Some newer devices, like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) or no-prick scanners are available, though most at-home testing still uses a small finger prick. We can explain the differences and help you choose what feels most comfortable and practical for you.
When should I use glucose tablets?
Glucose tablets are used when your blood sugar drops too low. They work quickly and are easy to carry, making them a smart backup to have on hand. We always encourage our customers to talk with their doctor about when and how to use them correctly.
How do I know which test strips fit my glucose meter?
Each meter is designed to work with a specific brand and type of test strip. Using the wrong one can lead to errors. If you’re unsure, we can help you find the correct match and make sure you’re getting accurate readings every time.
