Benefits Of Using A Glucose Meter Without Having Diabetes?
Ok what would be the benefits of measuring my B.G even if I don’t have diabetes? This is for a school assignment. Would it be a good choice to use if your watching weight? Or calories or something? Thanks so much! Since I use mine to measure mine so I don’t die lol I don’t know why you could use one w/o diabetes?
The only way to benefit from checking glucose without having diabetes is to be HYPOglycemic or having low blood glucose and needing to know when you are actually too low. And for those in danger of having diabetes so they know they are keeping to a very low carbohydrate plan. They would only check glucose once in a while like once a week or every other week.
My daughter checks her glucose levels to make sure she isn’t becoming diabetic. My mother was type 2, my brother is type 2, my sister is HYPO, and I am type 2. My daughter has legitamate reasons for checking her glucose levels once in a while.
There are NO benefits of checking your blood sugar on a daily basis UNLESS you are diabetic. Your wonderfully made body automatically keeps your blood sugar at normal levels unless you have a disorder such as diabetes.
I am not a diabetic but I have a meter because I have extremely low sugars sometimes.
