capillary blood glucose

Abbreviation: CBG
The level of circulating blood glucose as measured by glucometer analysis of a fingerstick sample. Regular measurements of CBG allow diabetic patients to make frequent adjustments in their caloric intake, exercise levels, and use of antidiabetic medications, esp. insulin. Synonym: finger stick blood glucose
