Blood glucose monitoring four confusions

In the process of diabetes control , blood glucose monitoring is a very important thing. But in real life , a lot of friends on how to measure blood sugar, there are a lot of confusions

1,fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose ?

Fasting plasma glucose generally expressed in vivo liver sugar output , is a basic state ; postprandial blood glucose generally reflect the impact of diet on blood sugar , to some extent represents the body's own insulin response to eating 

Both meanings are not the same , so diabetics should be promoted fasting and postprandial blood glucose both monitored

2.Fasting blood glucose , in the end can not drink medicine ?

Fasting blood glucose is the body 's blood sugar baseline , standard definition is not eating any diet caloric content of 8 to 10 hours of blood sugar.

Thus, in addition to not eating fasting blood sugar , vegetables, snacks, sugary drinks can be converted to heat food , for water, tea , etc. are not taboo , it will not affect the test results

However , fasting blood glucose , when not taking hypoglycemic medications ( including insulin )
Because the human body after taking hypoglycemic agents , blood glucose will be gradually reduced , fasting blood sugar , it may lead to not eating timely and hypoglycemia . At the same time , drugs to lower blood sugar , resulting in the measured result will no longer be the basis of the state of blood sugar

However , antihypertensive drugs , lipid-lowering drugs and other medications , but can take as usual . Because it does not affect changes in blood sugar , without prejudice to the test results

3,Is the measured venous plasma glucose or blood sugar test finger ?

Usually due to venous blood to the hospital for blood , too much trouble , so usually are based on patient self-monitoring of blood glucose finger

Patients need to be reminded to note that , in addition to their detection finger blood sugar , but also should go to the hospital regularly to detect venous plasma glucose , glycated hemoglobin testing in particular , so as to more effectively judge glycemic control to prevent self- blood glucose monitoring error

4，Home blood glucose meter in the end whether the Right ?

Without timing correction of home blood glucose meter it is possible inaccurate . So , how to make a home blood glucose meter timing correction it ? In general , home blood glucose meter is calibrated in the factory ; the same time , the sales department has a blood glucose meter blood glucose meter calibration of the model was corrected for use . Usually recommended every three months , using a standard calibration solution of the model blood glucose meter , blood glucose meter for home once corrected.
