testing

I prick my finger about 12 to15 times per day. Pricking my
finger with a little needle, called a lancet, makes a small drop
of blood. I can test that drop of blood to see how much
sugar is there. I need to prick my finger when I wake up AND
before I ever put any food in my mouth.

Also, there are MANY times throughout the day (and even in
the middle of the night) when I feel strange. I have learned to
recognize these feelings and check my sugar levels
immediately.
