What are the Methods of Monitoring Blood Glucose Levels?
Nurses use several methods to monitor blood glucose levels, including:
Fingerstick Testing: This involves using a glucometer to measure blood sugar from a drop of blood obtained from a finger prick. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): A device worn by the patient that continuously monitors blood glucose levels throughout the day and night. HbA1c Testing: Measures the average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months, giving an overall picture of blood sugar control.
