A glucometer is a small, portable device used to measure the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood. It's a crucial tool for people with diabetes, as it helps them monitor their blood sugar levels and make informed decisions about their insulin dosages, diet, and exercise.   Here's how it works: Pricking: A small needle (lancet) is used to prick your fingertip or another designated area.   Blood sample: A small drop of blood is collected.   Test strip: The blood is applied to a test strip.   Reading: The glucometer analyzes the test strip and displays the blood sugar level.
