This is often done with a finger prick. In a drop of blood, the blood sugar (blood glucose) is measured at that moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eBlood test in the laboratory\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe blood is often tested in a laboratory as an extra check. The results may be different because the blood sugar measured in a fingertip is different than in a larger blood vessel. Nowadays, the blood sugar meter itself converts the value into a laboratory result when a finger is pricked.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat exactly is blood sugar or blood glucose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe body mainly obtains blood sugar from food. Carbohydrates that you eat, such as in bread, sugar and potatoes, enter the blood as glucose. This blood glucose (blood sugar) travels throughout the body and gives energy to all cells. Blood sugar is vital: you can't live without it. Normally, the body keeps the blood sugar level exactly in balance: not too much and not too little. With diabetes, that balance is lost and treatment is needed to lower blood sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eIs your blood sugar meter reimbursed?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eView \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www. healthcare insurance guide.nl\/zorgtoeslagen\/Bloedsuikermeter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e which health insurance policies reimburse this.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Romed","offers":[{"title":"Standaard","offer_id":54772680032599,"sku":"DG1207120307","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1032\/6559\/9831\/files\/file_cddb1180-2460-4431-a738-59ff6f0139ae.jpg?v=1787691681","url":"https:\/\/degros.nl\/en\/products\/romed-blood-sugar-meter-blood-glucose-meter","provider":"Degros","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
