A stick in time saves lives.
Learn about home glucose monitoring, which is an important tool to improve your blood sugar control.  Patients are able to guide their doctors and dietitians about which foods are best to eat by checking sugars at home two hours after a meal.  The goal for blood sugar, two hours after a meal, is 180 or less.
Home sugar monitors are under development which do not require blood but work by sending a light beam through the finger.
