[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 1472048, member: 368709"] [USER=404895]@dudester[/USER] meters are small devices that measure blood sugar levels. They can help,with management of diabetes by giving you information about the effects of what you eat on your blood sugar. Ideally you should test immediately before a meal and again 2 hours after the first bite. You're aiming for a rise of no more than 2 mmols.
