The choice of blood glucose meters:

First, first of all, you should understand the type of glucose meter, glucose meter according to the principle of operation is divided into two categories: photochemical method and electrode method two categories. Photochemical method of glucose meter stability, accuracy is better; electrode method of glucose meter because of the different electrode materials, built-in correction system differences, price and accuracy, stability has a big difference, this kind of blood glucose meter needs less blood, test results fast (seconds).

Secondly, attention should be paid to value for money, including the price of test strips.

Thirdly, attention should be paid to after-sale services, and test strips are more readily available.

Fourth, to buy a blood glucose meter should carefully read the instruction manual, pay attention to understand the characteristics and special requirements of the instrument, testing process if there are questions, should be timely communication with professionals.

II. Use of blood glucose meters

Before blood collection, the local skin should in principle be disinfected. The disinfectant can be 75% alcohol, but avoid using iodine or iodophor. The iodine in iodine and povidone-iodine can react with the enzymes in blood glucose test strips, leading to errors in the test results.

Tips:

(1) Before blood collection, wash hands with warm water and dry them, then use alcohol to sterilize the fingers and leave them to dry, with the arms down for 10-15 seconds, and then collect the blood.

(2) You can also use your hand to slowly squeeze and massage the finger that you are going to collect blood from the palm to the finger to make the finger congested, so that blood collection is easier.

(3) If it is winter and you have just come indoors from outside, do not collect blood at this time because the cold causes blood vessels to constrict and it is not easy to collect blood at this time. You can wait indoors for a while until your hands warm up before collecting blood.

Third, how to measure blood sugar

(1) Monitoring should be done seven times a day at the beginning of treatment: fasting, before and after three meals, and at bedtime.

(2) Measure blood glucose at any time if hypoglycemia manifests. If unexplained fasting hyperglycemia or nocturnal hypoglycemia occurs, monitor nocturnal blood glucose.

(3) Self-monitoring of blood glucose 2-4 times a day after reaching treatment goals.

(4) It is recommended to monitor your blood glucose for three consecutive full days, which will reflect your blood glucose pattern and make it easier to guide how to adjust your diet, exercise or treatment.

Tip:

(1) The state of a person is different in the morning, noon and night during the day, so the data monitored at different time points during the day are not very comparable. However, on different days, most of the time the data of morning and morning, noon and noon, evening and night are similar and have good comparability. Therefore, regular, cyclical, and regular monitoring is recommended.

(2) Blood glucose should be monitored intermittently, preferably in groups, so as to better understand the pattern of change of blood glucose. It is also necessary to measure the blood sugar before going to bed on a regular basis, and if you feel hypoglycemia or discomfort, you should also monitor it immediately.

(3) The monitoring of blood glucose in groups reflects the effect of your diet and exercise on your blood glucose, so you can probably tell what you eat that doesn't affect your blood glucose too much? How long is exercise good for blood sugar control?

I use Sanno's GA-6, compared with the hospital's, the value is very close, or only to be trusted, and the price is cheaper.

I chose the Johnson & Johnson Stable Glucose Meter, which is a well-known brand in the United States, and American endocrinologists also recommend this one, which has been around for more than 30 years now.

The accuracy of this blood glucose meter sugar measurement is very reliable, with the value measured in the hospital is the same, itself it is also a lot of hospitals in the daily measurement of sugar to the patient with the use of simple, gently on the top of the finger, basically will not feel the pain, the bleeding point with the dust particles are as small as the blood collection, blood collection and then begin to measure the blood glucose, 5 seconds after the accurate measurement value will be displayed on the screen.

It has a big screen, so you can see it clearly, and you can also identify the specific situation of blood glucose through the color, blue represents low, green is normal, red is high, and I feel relieved when I see green every time I take a test. This device also has a sound reminder function, which reminds me to take a blood glucose test after setting the time, so I don't have to worry about forgetting.

I use Roche and Johnson. Roche for regular use and Johnson for proofreading backup. The Roche is very accurate and the test strips are priced OK. I took a blood glucose reading of 4.9 from a vein at the hospital, and at the same time a finger prick with the Roche meter gave me a reading of 5.0, with a very small margin of error.
