What are the Tools Used for Monitoring Blood Sugar?
Several tools are available for monitoring blood sugar, including glucometers, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and lab tests like the A1C test. Glucometers are portable devices that allow patients to check their blood sugar levels at home, while CGMs provide real-time data and trends. The A1C test, usually conducted in a clinical setting, measures average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months.
