Host: What do you do with your blood sugar numbers?

Kathy Reily: The blood sugar numbers should be logged in a Logbook that comes with the Meter or it can be logged in any format, but we actually look for patterns in these particular numbers. We would look for patterns in the morning numbers to see if they were above target or within target and then also look for patterns in the day time numbers, after meal numbers or bedtime numbers to make some connection between the diet during the day or exercise or medication.
