When patients are provided with a blood glucose meter in the office, they should be educated on how to use it in others to ensure they know what to do with their test results and to be sure they are testing correctly . Many people measure their blood sugar regularly but unfortunately do not use the result to improve their condition due to lack of adequate support (SK120 Diabetes care, 2005). This is especially true for people who purchase the meter from a pharmacy as they may not receive intensive training on how to use it correctly resulting in inappropriate use and lack of understanding of how it works.
