Editor’s comment...
M aking the most of what
we’ve got is easy to say, but
less easy to do. If you’re doing
regular blood tests, you might be storing up
great data assets which can help you see
how your insulin regime is working for you.
Instead of just adjusting as you go along, you
can take a longer view and start seeking
patterns that can help you address regular periods of highs or
lows and direct you towards better control. Chances are you’ve
got all you need right there in your hands in the form of a decent
blood test meter. In our feature, we look at what meters provide
good graphics to help you see your way forward more clearly.
