English translation:blood sugar finger-stick test
Explanation:
You'll find plenty of examples if you type "stick + test + diabetes" in any search engine (I used Google):

A finger-stick test is a simple test you can do using a blood glucose meter to check changes in your own blood sugar. The finger-stick test tells you what your blood sugar is at the time you test.
