A Glucose Meter, is provided by your healthcare provider. Your blood test will also let you know your blood sugar level.
To check your sugar level, use a blood glucose meter by washing and drying hands, inserting a test strip into the meter, pricking your fingertip with a lancet, touching the blood drop to the strip, and reading the result on the screen in seconds; alternatively, a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) uses a sensor under the skin for real-time, frequent readings, but always follow your doctor's guidance on which method and how often to test.
