AAMA CMA Practice Question

A medical assistant is providing instructions to a patient who has been newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. The patient's treatment plan includes monitoring blood glucose levels. Which statement by the medical assistant best explains the importance of regular blood glucose monitoring?

  • Regular monitoring helps to track the effectiveness of your dietary choices and physical activity on your blood sugar levels, and it assists your healthcare provider in making necessary adjustments to your medication.

  • Checking your blood glucose is only necessary when you feel symptoms of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, such as dizziness or shaking.

  • It's important to monitor your blood sugar only on days when you have consumed a large amount of carbohydrates or sugar.

  • Blood glucose monitoring should be done weekly to reduce the discomfort and inconvenience of frequent testing.
