		A home blood sugar test involves pricking a finger with a small needle (lancet) to collect a drop of blood, placing the blood on a special test strip, and then inserting the test strip into the blood glucose meter.
		A home blood glucose test is an accurate way to measure blood sugar level at the time of testing.
		Home glucose meters are not usually as accurate as laboratory measurement, especially when evaluating extremely low or high glucose values—less than 60 milligrams per deciliter (3 mmol/L) or greater than 300 mg/dL (14.9 mmol/L).
