Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period.

Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger.

If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications.

Acute complications can include diabetic ketoacidosis, nonketotic hyperosmolar coma, or death.

Serious long-term complications include heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney failure, foot ulcers, and damage to the eyes.

Blood glucose monitoring is a way of testing the concentration of glucose in the blood (glycemia).

Particularly important in the care of diabetes mellitus, a blood glucose test is performed by piercing the skin (typically, on the finger) to draw blood, then applying the blood to a chemically active disposable 'test-strip'.

Different manufacturers use different technology, but most systems measure an electrical characteristic, and use this to determine the glucose level in the blood.

The test is usually referred to as capillary blood glucose.

The blood sugar concentration or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose (sugar) present in the blood of a human or animal.

The body naturally tightly regulates blood glucose levels as a part of metabolic homeostasis.
