Summary

Blood glucose monitoring at home with small electronic devices is an easy method to check blood sugar level on a daily basis. The patient himself can perform the procedure and the result is obtained instantly. This method is also known as the "fingerstick method." Remember that blood glucose monitoring at home is done using FDA–approved devices.
