The proportion of diabetic patients in Malaysia is getting higher. More than half of the patients do not know that they have diabetes. It is suggested that you can bring your blood glucose meter at home to know your blood sugar content.
Diabetes is a chronic disease, and it is not traceable at the initial stage, and it is not easy to be detected. Symptoms of getting thinner, frequent urination, and often thirsty may appear when you are sick.
Blood sugar refers to the glucose present in the blood, which mainly comes from the decomposition of food and liver muscle glycogen. The blood sugar of a normal person is 4.4 to 6.1 mmol/L on an empty stomach, and 4.4 to 7.8 mmol/L on a non-fasting stomach.
In addition to going to a medical clinic to check your blood sugar level, you can also bring your blood glucose meter home. The price of the blood glucose meter starts from RM19, and it also comes with a blood glucose test strip and a needle set, which are sold on various e-commerce platforms.
The method of using the blood glucose meter is very simple, that is, it is tested in the morning on an empty stomach. First insert the test paper into the blood glucose meter, then use a needle to prick your fingertips, and use the test paper to extract a small amount of blood. The blood glucose meter will automatically detect the blood glucose level.
