Whenever you have troubles with your car, it can be a difficult situation for your mechanic to diagnose.  Though you might notice the changes on a day to day basis, they're only looking at the car once in their shop – and inevitably, the car doesn't seem to have any troubles then.  This is often the same case in terms of some diabetes patients.  You might go to your doctor's office and have completely normal blood sugar readings, but when you go home, your levels may go up and down.  In order to gain control over your blood sugar levels, your doctor might prescribe a blood glucose monitor testing.  With blood glucose monitors, they can get a bigger picture of your health and the way your treatment options might need to change.

 

Checking Your Day to Day Life:

 

Over the course of the day, your blood sugar levels will vary widely – as they do in anyone.  But when you are diabetic, you need to make sure they stay within a certain range of numbers so that you're not overwhelming your body and causing long term damage.  With a blood glucose monitor, your doctor can easily check to see how your body operates over the course of three days.  You simply have this device inserted into your body and then the blood glucose monitors can take hundreds of blood sugar readings over the course of the prescribed time.  This way, your doctor can see instantly when your sugars are too high or too low – and you can tell too.

 

Living Your Normal Life:

 

It's crucial that during the time the blood glucose monitor is used that you follow your normal eating and exercise habits. This way, you and your doctor can get an accurate view of your blood sugar level maintenance.  You might need to keep track of the foods that you are eating as well as the exercise that you do during this time period as well.  Doing so will allow the doctor to view the results and then compare them with the way you were moving and eating.  Some habits that you have might be what's affecting your blood sugar and show up on the blood glucose monitors and sugar meters, and thus you can be asked to change these habits to see if your blood sugar normalizes without additional medications.

 

Creating New Treatment Options:

 

If your doctor notices the blood glucose monitor or sugar meters is showing wide changes in your blood sugar levels, even though you are following an appropriate diet and exercise plan, plus you are taking your medications as directed, it might be time for you to change your course of treatment.  You might need to add more medications or you might even need to drop your dosages on others.  With blood glucose monitors and meters, your doctor will be able to make more targeted changes to your diabetes treatment.

 

With the results of the blood glucose monitor, your doctor might only be able to rely on your first hand account of what you eat and how much you exercise – but we're not always that honest, are we?  Even if you are, using blood glucose monitors a few times a year can help you and your doctor ensure that your treatments are working well to protect your body and to protect your long term health.
