Abstract

Blood glucose testing provides important information about the effectiveness of the diabetes management plan and assists nurses to monitor the clinical situation and take appropriate action. Nurses should consider the rationale for performing a blood glucose test every time they test a patient’s blood glucose level and commit to acting on the results, including whether the results are abnormal for the patient.
