Recommendations for diabetic blood sugar levels are between 4 mmol/l (millimoles per litre) and 7 mmol/l

(80 to 120 milligrams per decilitre in US measurements)

Tips for blood glucose tests!

When you prick your finger for

a blood glucose test -

Use a gentle pumping action

(2 or 3 pumps will be enough)

rather than one long

continuous squeeze.

Always use the sides of your

fingers rather than the centre -

there are less nerve endings.

You will find it far easier

and a lot less painful!

Remember that the pin prick device

can be altered for skin thickness -

try it on the lowest setting and adjust up!
