- Watch a step by step guide on how to test your blood glucose levels. In order to perform a blood glucose test you will require your blood glucose meter, a test strip to hand, a lancing device and a monitoring diary to record the results of your blood glucose test.
Diabetes.co.uk's Benedict Jephcote runs through how to test your blood sugar. In this video, Benedict is using a OneTouch meter and test strips.

Ben's blood glucose was 3.6 mmol/L (or 65 mg/dL) in this video. Learn about hypos (low blood glucose) at www.diabetes.co.uk/Diabetes-an...
For those not in the UK, mmol/L is the UK standard unit. mg/dL is the American unit. You can convert between the two here: www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-sugar...

This helped my parents immensely in learning to test my autistic brother's glucose, they wanted me to say thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video...even years later, it is still being watched. It is the basic instructions much needed. hope you are doing well. Sherri

Thank you so much for the information, and respecting everyone's time with no fluff / intro / filler.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm a newly diagnosed diabetic and I was testing for the first time. I was becoming very frustrated because I'd tried three times (ruined three test strips) and it wasn't working I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Your video was a great help. Thank you again and take care.

You are not alone... My instructions were in Chinese!
I'm diagnosed as high blood sugar patient so this is a great information for me thank you
Thank you for this. 12 years from original posting and it helped me yesterday. The internet can be a wonderful place. God bless.
Straight to the point. Thank you!
Of all the people on here showing how to check glucose your video was clearer .Even the nurse on here her video was not as good she needs to watch your video on how you explain the device .Thank you.
Thank you for this video! This helped me learn how to test and teach me the tools on what I need to buy to to do it with. When I got GD my doctor gave me prescription for a meter and test strips only which I only got the meter approved and she didn't tell me I needed more items to test or explain anything really. I ended up having my son before I bought everything and the told me I didn't have diabetes when I got released from the hospital, but am having symptoms of my blood sugar still being off. I have to buy a new meter cause the test strips alone for the meter insurance gave me are $80 for 50 on top of other stuff I have to buy. I am now buying the cheaper one at Walmart and the other stuff I need. So thank you for this!
My doctor recommends this kit as it is more convenient than going back to the hospital all the time for weekly monitoring...thank you for the video...I have now an idea what needs to be done.
Thank you! Very clear and concise!
Thank you so much - I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes and went to get my kit yesterday and no one was able to assist me in how to do this myself. Your video has made me feel so much more comfortable.
If you don’t mind asking, did your gestational diabetes went away after you gave birth?
My grandmother recently got diagnosed and she really struggles with pricking her finger
Thank you for this
These videos should go viral.
Very Helpful, Thank You
Thanks for this video, I use the Freestyle Libre sensor with Ambrosia NightRider to check the glucose levels on the phone and sometimes I use watch to monitor the levels.
thank you. It was a very clear explanation.
Thank you. My Dad is a resident in a skilled nursing (use that loosely) home. He is 84, was diagnosed with diabetes during a recent hospital stay, and had not had 1 test since returning! They have him on medication. So I managed to secure a test kit. Lost as to how it worked.
Ppp
Thanks for giving important information
Thanks for sharing
Very clear..thank you!
Thank you so so much
Nice explanation...
Thank you sir 😊❤
Thank you so much. I wasted 3 strips as I kept trying to get blood out from the top of my finger and it would produce a tiny drop of blood. Not enough for the strip. The side of my finger was less painful and produced enough blood to get a reading. I'm super happy it worked
Great video and well done. Great and helpful responses too. Just found out have diabetes at 47. To Ayman, I freaked, but we move on, and stay focused on the good things we have. I had OCD/Acute Anxiety like at 6 yrs olds, and it sucks. I freaked too at first, but you'll get through it I am sure, just a little comment, for what it's worth. Best of luck to you all and thanks again for informative video. Peace.
Thank you God bless you.
Good info... Thanks
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Thank you for this. I don't have diabetes officially but I have a genetic condition that messes with my insulin and blood sugar. I'm trying to catch a hypoglycemic episode for my doctor and this is an actual life saver
I’m glad that testing for insulin levels at home has progressed so much with better technology. Diabetes types I & II are very serious conditions.

Thanks I just took one test and the results were fine
Very Good. Thanks
good information....
Lastly, any injuries or accidents may provide a chance to perform a quick blood sugar test, providing that the injury doesn't impede movement of hands or fingers, and that any hemorrhaging can be directed to the test strip.
Thank you so much...
It is best after pricking your finger to get a clean blood sample, is to wipe away the 1st bead of blood 🩸 and raise a 2nd bead of blood and wipe clean once more. Use the 3rd bead of blood for your test. You can often see a variation sometimes dropping 30 points or more in the last blood bead sample.
Excellent
Thank you for uploading this!
Excellent keep going
you reach the win
and you will able to help the people
Thanks
Thank you. Im now helping my mom monitor her glucose, her sugar keeps shooting up after her Chemo treatments. Im helping her with insulin shots too.
Thnx for the video
Thank you
Nice Presentation 😊
thank you
Thank you sir
Great video!!!
Thank you so much
This video is bloody brilliant!
For anyone who was having the same problem as me. I kept not getting a reading so I poked myself about 7 times. I realize my error was that I was putting the blood on top of the testing strip (the gold part) where it actually needs to be on the side of the paper because then the blood goes between the papery layers and gets tested.
Thank you.
Thanks sir
Thank you much
Do you have to dispose the lancet needle after one use?
thank you good video well explained cheers

something is not clear. when i turn on the meter it shows numbers etc. do i have to reset it and if so how? or do i just stick the strip in?
do you select venous, capillary, or arterial if that is a option?
Thanks -- I like the tip on least painful pricking site -- I'm still weirded out about measuring my blood glucose.
Thank you for the clear instructions. It took my nervousness away.

Thank you so much, for explaining how to do this?
Well appreciated.👏✅
Wipe off first spot of blood off your finger and use the second drop for an accurate reading . Should have mentioned blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes.
Thanks.... the information you listed about what the readings meant helped me a lot. Now I understand the readings...thanks again!
Also really depends on if you’re fasting or have recently eaten and what you ate!
how is it possible to have different readings from two different fingers, at the same time?
What is a good number? How does this compare to an A1C test?
Ty my mom q diabetic a has dementia a I'm just learning how to do it just bought my own meter for her to do it seems so hard sure easy after while
hello
very nice and useful information I got from this video , thankyou for it

which hand we need to check it right or left please guide me
Thanks but don't have to measure before eating to get a real result?🤔
13 years later still being watched❤
Good
Nice
I need some help, info please. I'm really worried about my Blood Sugar levels, I have tested twice yesterday and twice yesterday , my results have been 3.1 mmol , 5.1 mmol and 1.1 mmol - something doesn't seem right? Is it possible to get these variations?
Many thanks
aap video bahut achhe dalte ho clear samjh m ata h
To avoid stick injuries, don't put the top back onto the lancet, just pop it straight into the sharps bin.
Is thsi accurate? I mean can you diagnose yourself solely with this, since i dont want to do GTT, I thought I get one and test my levels for a while,
thanks
thx
What does it mean by the reading 3.6?
Great
Hi.... can i ask you please. (what is a good level number reading on the machine to be at after doing a test. i have been diagnosed with type 1diabetes for a few years now. i have been taken two different forms of tablets to try to help control the diabetes. now i am being given a third tablet to try and help. also my doctor has given me one of these testing machines to check my blood levels. i was given no advice/help for using the machine. neither told what the readying after doing a test should try to be kept at etc. so i thank you for your video. plus any advice.....
@AnabolicMutant not all areas in your body are highly vascular. for adults, the side of the finger is chosen because it is highly vascular and contains less nerve endings. for babies, the heel of the foot is chosen. also, the side of the finger is less sensitive to pain while the tip of the finger has a dense nerve supply.
the puncture site always matters because any alteration can affect the results.
Do you have to do it in the finger? If so why?
My experience with home blood tests and after doing a lab blood test on the same morning reading as 4.6 - 5.2 Check this out to know your blood ratio to feel really safe and secure.
My device is showing the "LO" on the screen every time I try to use it, what could be wrong with it?
How about zooming in?
thanks u.
Hi what is a normal sugar level results .i have just bought a machine to check mine and i cannot understand the instructions what your sugar level should be .can anyone help pls
THANKS FROM BANGLADESH
That was 9c..thanks a lot...
Hey... How can i delete a test on Glucoplus?
I never record my results in a Diary. It is rather annoying to do it every time, since I check my blood-glucose at least six times a day. Sometimes more than that.
My Monitor keeps records of what my blood-glucose has been running, anyway.
Toppen.Bra jobbat.
I wanna thank you for teaching us how to do our blood check , is 132 a bad reading ..?

Hi how to take
40 years old and just been diagnosed with type 1! Devastated man and I’m dumb I tried to do what you said but the machine just said error I wasted 4 strips. 😔
My Nurse at my surgery gave me a glucoRx Nexus meter I find it hard to understand
I don't mean to sound ignorant or anything, but you guys measure your blood glucose levels in number.number? I'm used to "100" popping up on my screen when my blood glucose is 100. Is there a certain setting on the meter to do that or something?
