Blood Glucose Monitoring:

Blood glucose monitoring is the main tool you have to check your diabetes control. This check tells you your blood glucose level at any one time. Blood glucose checks let you see what works and what doesn't with your meal and exercise plan.

There are many different blood glucose meters available for purchase today. South Peninsula Hospital Community Health Services has meters available for short term loans for those who would like to try different meters before purchasing one.

Call Community Health Services 907-235-0369 for more information on how to use your meter properly, or discuss the free loan of a blood glucose meter.
