Can I use a home fingerstick blood test to test for hypoglycemia?

Posted by admin on Oct 24, 2009

I have been looking at the little machines for testing blood sugar and also the visual test strips like betachek visual. Can I use either of these for testing or hypoglycemia as I keep getting symptoms of it?

I have had blood sugar tested before at the docs and it was normal, but my symptoms seem to come on with exercise. I especially notice it in the city walking around a lot. So I was thinking I need to test blood suger then rather than in a doctor’s surgery. Thanks

sure you can! be sure to journal all the results: time, foods eaten or drank, activities at the time and glucose number.

here is a handy chart you might want to print up as the geocities service is going away:

Absolutely. Hypoglycemia is best determined by a blood glucose test. Use a meter instead of reading from a strip for more accurate results.
