My Pregnancy Journey: The Glucometer





On my 28th week, I was requested to monitor my sugar level on a daily basis. So i bought this glucometer at watsons for php1,795 with free 25pcs strips. Additional 50pcs strips are worth 1,400 and additonal 25pcs lancets are worth php179. However if you are near Bambang area, you can buy 50pcs strips at php1,200 and 25pcs lancets at php150.




Monitoring my sugar is an additional responsibility as I need to do it on a daily basis.Sometimes, i am too lazy to do it because of lack of sleep the night before and the fasting requirement does not comprehend as there were times i eat snacks around 3:00 in the morning. This has been my routine for two weeks, as instructed. I found out a helpful app to assist me in monitoring my blood sugar.



After two weeks, my OB told me the results was good as there was only one a week that my sugar level goes beyond the normal range. My monitoring was down from daily to every other day.
