Home blood sugar checks show how food, activity, stress, and medication affect your levels.
Wash your hands, use a fresh lancet, and record your results along with notes about meals and activity. Your care team can use this information to adjust your plan.
Pin Tip
Bring your meter or log to every appointment.
Work With Your Care Team
This pin shares general health information, not medical advice. Diabetes care is personal, so follow the targets, medications, and meal plan set by your doctor, diabetes educator, or dietitian.
Know the Emergency Signs
Call 911 if someone with diabetes becomes confused, cannot stay awake, has a seizure, or cannot safely swallow. Seek urgent care for very high blood sugar with vomiting, deep rapid breathing, or a fruity breath odor.
Quick Reminder
Keep your diabetes supplies, snacks, and emergency contact information together in one easy to grab kit.
