MANAGING DIABETES One of the most important factors in diabetes management is keeping your blood glucose levels within a specified target range. Regular testing and recording of your blood glucose level can easily be done at home, using a blood glucose meter. If your blood glucose meter is getting quite old and needs replacement, check with your local Advantage Pharmacy to see if you are eligible for a FREE meter upgrade. Additionally, it is important to measure your glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level every 3-6 months. By measuring your HbA1c level, your doctor will be able to get an overall picture of what your average blood glucose levels have been over the previous 3 months.
Ask your local participating Advantage Pharmacist about how they can help measure your HbA1c levels at the pharmacy

Maintaining good blood glucose control helps to reduce the chance of developing complications from diabetes. Your doctor or credentialed diabetes educator will help you decide how many tests are needed and what range of blood glucose levels to aim for. It is also important that you know how to use your blood glucose meter correctly, prepare your lancing device, and how to maintain your meter and equipment to ensure accuracy of results.
If your blood glucose meter is getting quite old and needs replacement, check with your local Advantage Pharmacy to see if you are eligible for a FREE meter upgrade.
