SMBG works by having patients perform a number of glucose tests each day or each week. The test most commonly involves pricking a finger with a lancet device to obtain a small blood sample, applying a drop of blood onto a reagent strip, and determining the glucose concentration by inserting the strip into a reflectance photometer for an automated reading. Test results are then recorded in a logbook or stored in the glucose meter's electronic memory. People with diabetes can be taught to use their SMBG results to correct any deviations out of a desired target range by changing their carbohydrate intake, exercising, or using more or less insulin. 2, record 3, English, - self%2Dmonitoring%20of%20blood%20glucose

Capillary blood glucose testing, using a blood glucose meter and capillary blood obtained from a finger-prick sample, is widely used by community nurses to support patient monitoring. This method of testing enables glucose levels to be recorded at a specific moment in time and is therefore an essential aid to: assessment of control; diabetes management; decision-making with regard to treatment titration and changes. 3, record 6, English, - capillary%20blood%20glucose%20testing
