Don't just test. Test Smart
When medications are doing their job, everyone feels better.
Test your blood sugar level before you take your diabetes medication. The results will show you how well your diabetes medication is working to keep your sugar levels steady around mealtime. You'll also see whether your other medications are causing highs or lows*. Moreover, these blood sugar test results can help your healthcare professional track changes in your condition and adjust your dosage or switch your medication, if necessary.
*Not all medications are conducive to highs or lows.

| Carol took her short-acting insulin dose just before the soccer awards dinner.

She just wasn't as sharp as usual. | She sat down and tested, and her reading was a little low. She realized that her meal was not big enough to cover her insulin dose. | She drank a small glass of juice and felt much better.
