It is important to take this measurement properly, because too low blood glucose can cause problems. People with diabetes in particular need to measure their blood glucose levels regularly.  <\/p><p>Do you know how to perform a reliable blood sugar level measurement and at what time?

The more the meter deviates, the greater the chance of an incorrect dose of insulin. <\/p><p>For example, if the meter deviates by 5%, an incorrect dose of insulin is already given in 8 to 23% of the injections. If the meter deviates towards 10%, the margin of error increases even further and 16 to 45% receive an incorrect dose of insulin. <sup> <\/sup><\/p><ol start=\"2\"><li><strong>Proper <a href=\"https:\/\/careup.online\/ondersteuning\/handhygiene\/\">hand cleaning<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ol><p>It is very important to clean the place where you are going to prick well first.

In addition, the circumstances in which the measurement takes place must always be taken into account. For example, a meal, exercise or the menstrual cycle can affect blood sugar levels.  <\/p><p>As a healthcare professional, you must be able to take the correct measurement and interpret the correct value, taking into account any circumstances. Only in this way can you be sure that you are administering the right insulin to a patient.<br>Someone with diabetes ideally measures the blood sugar level 2 hours before meals, but also 2 hours after meals. In this way, the patient knows whether the dosage of insulin has been correct in combination with the meal.  <\/p><p>Measuring the blood glucose level via the finger prick seems like a simple action, but a small deviation can have major consequences.
