Things like glucose meters vary so much in quality for one thing, and are inherently difficult to be accurate.

This is because fasting blood glucose is only a reference indicator, the result obtained is immediate and reflects the blood glucose indicator at that moment in time, the method used to monitor blood glucose levels in diabetic patients is flawed because diabetic patients are more focused on blood glucose levels over a period of time. In the latter case, A1C is usually done to find out the blood glucose level in the last three months, so as to understand the blood glucose situation of diabetic and pre-diabetic patients.

The usefulness of a blood glucose meter is for patient self-testing as a means of self-monitoring. If you are taking hypoglycemic drugs, there is no point in measuring blood glucose every day, unless you want to know the effect of hypoglycemic drugs. Because if you insist on taking hypoglycemic drugs and the medication is reasonable, the blood sugar will be well controlled, so regular measurement of A1C can be.

Self-testing is necessary if you control your blood glucose primarily by diet control, in which case you should have a blood glucose meter that allows you to monitor the effectiveness of your dietary control on a regular basis so that it can be corrected and improved.

So which glucose meter to buy?

This can only be figured out on your own. The best way to know if the glucose meter is accurate is to test it yourself before you go to the hospital to test your blood sugar.

Generally, it's not too accurate, and there's no need to be accurate, as long as you use the same glucose meter for a long period of time, so that you're not looking at the absolute value of the blood glucose, but rather the fluctuation of the blood glucose. Don't be fooled by the absolute value of the blood glucose meter, which is usually on the low side, but strive for the lower the better.

Blood glucose meters have been invented for 60 years and have brought convenience to diabetic people all over the world. They don't need to determine whether they are diabetic or how well they are controlling their condition based on the sugar contained in their urine, they don't need to draw a tube of blood from a vein every time to see how much their blood glucose is, they only need a trace amount of blood to know the value of their blood glucose, and they don't need to run to the hospital often, they only need to be in their home It can be done easily.

With advances in blood glucose meter technology, less and less blood is required, with the minimum amount of blood now reaching 0.3 microliters to measure blood glucose. Needle prick finger tips are also becoming less painful, which allows many diabetics to know their blood glucose control better through peripheral blood and adjust their medication regimen and dosage based on changes in blood glucose.

It is recommended that diabetic friends if there are conditions, you can prepare a blood glucose meter, so that in the process of lowering their own sugar to be able to understand their own blood glucose in a timely manner, the emergence of any discomfort will not affect the blood glucose or blood glucose related to be able to identify their own panic in a timely manner is the result of hypoglycemia or the emergence of myocardial infarction.

Blood glucose meter results and trends can give a good idea of how well blood sugar is being controlled, but all blood glucose meters are the same, the

I am often asked by my diabetic friends and their family members what brand of blood glucose meter is better, that one is more accurate? Domestic or imported, is the imported brand better? Is the domestic one inaccurate and so on.

Blood glucose meter manufacturers are very many, domestic, such as Sanno, stable, fish leap, etc., are the production of medical equipment of the old manufacturers, imports of Johnson and Johnson, will be good, Roche, etc., but also a relatively large brand, it should be said that the blood glucose meter of the production process is very simple, with the development of technology, the test requires more and more time is becoming more and more short, the amount of blood required more and more less, the result is more and more accurate, the appearance of the shape is also more and more small and beautiful.

So I think, as long as the state approved, agreed to produce and imported blood glucose meters are accurate, because the licensed range of blood glucose meters in the upper and lower 15% or so are relatively accurate, which are national standards. And blood glucose meter data in the treatment of diabetes as a medication reference to determine the control of blood glucose, just a reference, not 5.3 blood glucose than 5.6 blood glucose control is better, are in the normal range. Nor is it true that an 18.5 is worse than a 15.5, both are exceptionally poorly controlled.

As with all commodities, even for products of the same quality, foreign prices are higher than domestic prices, which is especially obvious in medical equipment, both the glucose meter itself and test strips are the same. So for families with better economic conditions, you can choose to import the blood glucose meter, the conditions are slightly worse, the domestic blood glucose meter can also meet the needs.

Importantly, when buying a blood glucose meter, it is important to make sure that there is an adequate supply of test strips, because test strips are consumables, and generally speaking, the barrels will expire 3 months after opening, so they need to be replenished frequently. Often see some diabetic friends bought a blood glucose meter, only used for a short period of time, can not buy test strips, and from then on the blood glucose meter on the shelf, then no matter what the price of the blood glucose meter is not very meaningful.

I'm Dr. Sun, pay attention to Dr. Sun talk about sugar, continue to learn more quality health knowledge, help please like, have questions please leave a message, will reply!

Recommend a previous millet crowdfunding cell phone health equipment, as long as the iHealth blood glucose meter inserted into the headphone hole of the phone, "with sugar - Mass Edition" APP, the phone turns into its own exclusive blood glucose meter.

Diabetic patients need to monitor their blood glucose levels in a timely manner in order to provide data for the doctor to adjust their regimen when they visit the doctor.

Going to the hospital every day to test your blood sugar is, after all, a hassle and inconvenience, and you can do it at home when you have your own blood glucose meter.

Besides this one there are also Bayer, Roche, Johnson & Johnson and other brands not to be listed.

Saltless Jun's elderly family uses this one, so I recommend this one~~~

All the best to you!!!!

There are generally two accuracy standards for blood glucose meters, one is the international ISO15197:2003 standard and the other is the international ISO15197:2013 standard, the latter is more accurate and the test results are more reliable. Among the brands currently listed in China, some products of Roche and Johnson & Johnson meet the international ISO15197:2013 standard. There are two other blood glucose meters whose accuracy exceeds the 2013 standard, with smaller errors. They are Bayanjin Glucose Meter, and Yoanjin Glucose Meter.

Personally, I think that most of the blood glucose meters have errors, as long as your hands of the blood glucose meter and the blood glucose in the hospital venous blood test compared to each other, the difference is calculated accurately, and then every time you use the blood glucose meter to measure yourself, you can be clear about how much blood glucose you have, so that every time you draw venous blood blood to measure blood glucose and the fingertip blood measurement of the mutual comparison, for a long time, you will have the experience, so, the brand of the glucose meter is not important, the important thing is to choose a good and calculate the relative error. So, the brand of blood glucose meter is not important, the important thing is to choose and calculate the relative error.

My blood glucose meter at home is a Roche, a little more expensive than the average glucose meter, but highly accurate

I've used Roche, Sanno, Fisheye, and they all feel good, so I believe in the domestic ones, which are affordable and have accurate data.

Omron, little expensive! 25 test strips for $88.

We use Johnson's in our side of the hospital, and I use it, too, and it's good!

For family members to use, began to buy the fish leap, and then feel not allowed to see the hospital used Johnson, change a Johnson, the former cheaper, the latter instrument itself is more expensive, the test paper is more expensive
