Essential diabetic testing supplies include: a blood glucose meter, test strips (must match your meter brand), lancets and a lancing device for finger pricks, and a logbook or app to track your readings. Additional helpful supplies include alcohol swabs, a carrying case, and extra batteries. Test strips are the most frequently replaced supply and often covered by insurance. Many meters now connect to smartphone apps for easier tracking.
