Q. Why should I test my blood
glucose (sugar)?
A. No doubt your Health Care
Professional has explained the
importance of keeping your diabetes
under control. Your ONE TOUCH
BASIC System helps you check
whether or not you are in control by
monitoring your blood glucose levels.
The test results provide a good
picture of how diet, exercise, and
medication are affecting your
diabetes.
Test results can also indicate whether
your diabetes is changing in ways
that might require an adjustment in
your treatment program.
Always consult your Health Care
Professional before making changes
in your diabetes control plan.
