There are several methods to monitor blood sugar levels: - Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG): This involves using a glucometer to measure blood sugar levels from a small drop of blood, usually obtained from a fingertip. - Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): A CGM device measures glucose levels in real-time through a sensor inserted under the skin, providing continuous data. - A1C Test: This blood test provides an average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months and is usually performed in a clinical setting.
