Self-check blood sugar levels regularly

http://www.earthtimes.org/

Eschborn, Germany - Diabetics should test and evaluate their blood sugar levels as part of their regular routine, according to diabetes specialist Ruediger Landgraf in the Neue Apotheken Illustrierten. Self-testing helps patients understand how blood sugar levels are affected by lifestyle and new situations. They are even more important during travel, after a change in diet, during illness or when starting a new job, but less so for people with stable lives and metabolisms.

To check how to self-test, patients can ask most doctors, diabetes advisers and pharmacists about their testing devices.
