If someone in your friend and family has a self blood test meter , use it first to convince him to go to doctor if he has it. But you have to know all the steps involved in that self test too.
Still it might not be sufficient . He needs to visit a doctor to be absolutely sure about whether he has it or not.

**YES…he has to test blood before meals and 2 hours after it…it’s very important to check the blood sugar first thing in the morning when you wake up. one or two random readings during major meals is also recommended.

**a reading of 4-7 is normal before meals…and…7-10 is normal for 2 hours after the meals.

a reading of less than 2 and more than 15 is alarming and the patient must go to the emergency ward of the nearest hospital.
