Q. Why should I test my blood glucose (sugar)?

A. No doubt your Health Care Professional has explained the importance of keeping your diabetes

under control. Your ONE TOUCH BASIC System helps you check whether or not you are in control by monitoring your blood glucose levels.

The test results provide a good picture of how diet, exercise, and medication are affecting your diabetes.

Test results can also indicate whether your diabetes is changing in ways that might require an adjustment in your treatment program.

Always consult your Health Care Professional before making changes in your diabetes control plan.
