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 3, English, - capillary%20blood%20glucose%20testing
