Grandad's Blood Sugar Logbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781105710735)

A special gift for Grandad! Log your blood sugar levels for a full year in this handy and easy to use logbook. Blood sugar levels are also often referred to as blood glucose levels. By monitoring your levels, you are better able to manage your diabetes to reduce both acute and more longer term complications. Glucose is a sugar found in many drinks and foods, and the levels you are monitoring indicates how much glucose is in your blood at that moment of measurement. The level will change throughout the day, depending on factors such as what you have eaten or drank, your level of activity, your current state of health etc. In people with diabetes, the high and low blood sugar levels reached can be much greater and more frequent than in people without diabetes. As a person with diabetes, regularly checking your blood sugar levels will allow you to recognise when they become too low (hypoglycaemia) or too high (hyperglycaemia), and will allow you to take action, as advised by your medical practitioner, before the situation becomes serious. It may also help you to understand patterns in your blood sugar levels, which will help you manage your diabetes, stay healthy, and avoid future complications.
