	Blood glucose monitoring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blood glucose monitoring is a way of testing how much glucose is in the blood (glycemia).
		A drop of blood, usually taken from the fingertip, is placed on the end of a specially coated strip, called a testing strip.
		The second is by inserting the strip into a small machine, called a blood glucose meter, which "reads" the strip and shows the level of blood glucose in a digital window display.
