 <br>How can you measure blood sugar yourself? You can measure your blood sugar levels yourself using an electronic device called a blood glucose meter. To do this, you prick your fingertip with a small needle, and place a drop of blood on a test strip. The strip is inserted into the blood glucose meter. Shortly after, your blood sugar level is displayed on the device's screen. First of all, lay out everything you need. This includes a blood glucose meter, a blood-sampling device with a fine needle (lancet), and a test strip. Wash your hands before measuring your blood sugar because dirt can change the results. Take a test strip out of the package and insert it into the glucose meter. Gently prick the tip of a finger with the needle. It hurts less if you prick the side of the finger. Gently squeeze the tip of the finger until a small drop of blood comes out. It should just fill the test field on the strip.<br>
 <br>Then carefully place the drop of blood on the test strip without smearing it. After a short while your blood sugar level will be displayed on the meter. Modern devices can save the measurements along with the date and time, and this information can be transferred to a computer or smartphone. If that’s not possible, it's a good idea to write the measurements down in a special diary or app, for instance. If you measure your blood sugar levels frequently, pricking yourself is less uncomfortable if you use a different finger - or a different place on your finger - each time. It can be helpful to read up about the various available devices and how to use them properly before getting a new glucose meter. It must be easy to use in everyday life. What does the reading mean? It is completely normal for blood sugar levels to go up and down a little. This also happens in people who don't have diabetes. The amount of sugar in your blood is influenced by things like what you eat and drink, how much exercise you get, and what medications you take. Depending on whether blood sugar levels are measured on an empty stomach or immediately after a meal, they vary between 3.3 and 7.8 millimoles per liter (mmol/l) in people who don't have diabetes. That’s about 60 and 140 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl). There are no clear-cut boundaries between the normal range of blood sugar and high or low blood sugar.<br>
 <br>Mood:must go to bed. Left Masterton around 11.30am as we had heard there were roadworks just south of the Twin Bridges at the bottom of the Rimutaka Hill Road, however there was hardly any delay there at all. The new road on the Kaitokes is progressing well. There doesn't look to be much to go now and I would say we will shortly be driving the cutting in the hill. During Robyn's daily [radiation](https://www.blogher.com/?s=radiation) trips, we watched the hill be "downsized". Arrived at the Wellington Cancer Society carpark in good time. We were surprised to see the new building development at Wellington Hospital - across the road from where we parked. It is still in the tear down stage and the rooms we used to visit are now being torn down. After getting a chest x-ray done, we had our first visit to the recently opened Cancer Outpatient Department. That has been the first part of the new hospital to be built and the rest of the new hospital will be built around it.<br>
 <br>Robyn saw Dr Douglas Iupati. He said that Robyn's chest X-Ray looked good. Once again he did not have Robyn's blood results. She had those done last week at Masterton Hospital. We are not sure which hospital is at fault. Might need to check that one out. He had to ring for  [GlycoMode Blood Sugar support](https://87722.cn/thread-23350-1-1.html) them and said that they looked fine. Robyn's legs are still itching and she is scratching them until they bleed. She has a few on her arms too. Robyn said that it is most irritating at night. Her legs get hot,  [GlycoMode Metabolic Support](https://roleropedia.com/index.php?title=Revolutionizing_Diabetes_Management:_The_Glyco_Mode_Blood_Sugar_Monitoring_System) then they itch. Douglas said it was unusual but none of us feel it is related to any cancer activity. However, to rule out that possibility, he has ordered Robyn a CT scan (chest and abdomen) to be done by the end of the month. He also mentioned that it might be wise to repeat the bone marrow test. I think Robyn is OK about having the CT scan (it is a year since she had one), but I don't believe she will go through another bone marrow test at this stage.<br>
 <br>Robyn is going to try and tackle the itchiness with some creme she has been prescribed by her GP and also use some medicine that must act like an antihistamine. She also will catch up with her GP next week. So that's where things are at the moment. Comments: Read 3 orAdd Your Own. Robyn and I are heading down to Wellington on Tuesday 8 November after lunch. She has a chest x-ray and [regular](https://de.bab.la/woerterbuch/englisch-deutsch/regular) 3 monthly check up. She got her bloods done last week. I bet when we ask for the [GlycoMode blood sugar supplement](https://coopspace.online/index.php?title=User:FabianDix8219917) results that they will have to go searching and even ring through to Masterton ! They never seem to make it into her patient chart. I believe that Robyn's only concern at this stage is her weight, which has increased. We are both looking forward to seeing what progress has been made with the Kaitoke roadworks.<br>
