Removing the pain from diabetes testing 

Blood Glucose Monitoring

Blood glucose monitoring is a way of checking the concentration of glucose in the blood. Checking your blood glucose levels throughout the day will help you make decisions that keep levels within your target range.

Checking your blood glucose levels helps you to:

• better understand how activity, food, stress, travel and illness influence your blood glucose levels
• know when you need to seek support from your doctor or diabetes health professionals to adjust your medications or insulin, or for advice on meal planning or physical activity.

Talk to your diabetes health professionals about the target range for your blood glucose levels and your HbA1c test. They will recommend the target ranges that are best for you.

Australian researchers have developed a needle-free diabetes test

Australian researchers have developed a needle-free diabetes test that measures glucose levels from saliva — not blood. It could be ready for consumers as soon as 2023.

A world-first, pain-free diabetes test developed at the University of Newcastle could be in the hands of consumers following $6.3 million in funding to establish the first manufacturing facility for the device.
