Fingerstick Testing

Fingerstick testing is a quick method to measure blood sugar levels by pricking the fingertip with a small, sharp device called a lancet. A tiny drop of blood is collected and placed on a test strip, which is then inserted into a glucose meter. The device rapidly analyzes the blood sample to provide a blood sugar reading. This method is commonly used by people with diabetes for regular monitoring, offering immediate results to help manage their condition effectively. It’s a simple, minimally invasive process that provides essential information for blood sugar control.
