Diabetes-blood glucose reading
My mom has diabetes in the early stages. I have blood glucose monitoring system and check the glucose reading at home. The question is, is it the sugar reading per finger on left or right hand is differeny?

Greetings!
Thank you for your question. There is no difference in deciding which finger to prick for the glucose testing. Please follow the etiquette suggested in using this sharp tool and dispose properly after doing your mom’s blood test.
