Glucose Test
A person with diabetes constantly manages their blood's sugar (glucose) levels. After a blood sample is taken and tested, it is determined whether the glucose levels are low or high. If glucose levels are too low carbohydrates are ingested.If glucose in the blood is too high, the appropriate amount of insulin is administered into the body such as through an insulin pump.
