blood glucose measurements

How is Blood Glucose Measured in Children?

Blood glucose can be measured using a variety of methods:
Fingerstick Test: A small drop of blood is obtained by pricking the finger and is placed on a test strip inserted into a glucose meter.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): A sensor is placed under the skin to measure glucose levels continuously.
Laboratory Tests: Blood is drawn from a vein and tested in a clinical laboratory for more accurate results.
Each method has its pros and cons, and the choice depends on the child's condition and the healthcare provider's recommendation.
