Sam asked:


you know the ones those handheld devices, that you have to use a lancet that punctures the skin then you put blood on the strip then you put it in the device.

If you can find out if you have diabetes or not, what is number do you have to be below
(My father gave me this to test myself, and he said you dont have to go to the hospital and do it, he said you can do it by myself)

   Fasting blood sugar should be between 80 and 120. If you test high, you should go see a doctor to make sure.

   You can get a good idea. It depends on when you do it. Before or after you had something to eat that day a reading above 12 should be checked

   Yes, you can but you must do it a couple of hours after you eat or before or your reading will likely be high..For a diebetic anything over 140 is high if not your blood sugar should run 120 or lower perferably under 100 is best…….If you have any diebetes in your family you should be especially careful and watch what you eat and keep an eye on your blood sugar…Good Luck!
