A glucometes, also known asd self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), is the most beneficial device for diabetics. A number of types and brands of glucometers are easily available these days. Most of these are based on the following two principles:

1. Chemical

A chemical is present on the test strip. When it comes in contact with glucose, a colour is produced. The meter measures intensity of colour intensity and the level of glucose present is expressed in mg/dl.

2. Electric Current

The second type of glucometer measures the electric current present in the blood. This depends on the amount of glucose present. As soon as blood is put on the test strip, an enzyme transfers electrons from glucose to a chemical in the test strip. Thereafter, the meter measures the flow of the electrons as current. The amount of current will depend on the amount of glucose present. Thereafter, the meter produces the reading in mg/dl.

Glucometer Accuracy

Many are worried about the accuracy of the meter readings. However, there’s nothing to worry because the values are generally quite reliable. There may be a slight inconsequential difference between the sample of laboratory and glucometer reading due to the resons stated below:

10-15 per cent Difference

This difference in readings is observed because laboratory utilizes plasma blood while glucometers use
whole blood.

Higher Reading

Meters use capillary blood while laboratory make use of venous blood. Capillary blood may provide a slightly higher reading as compared to venous blood.

Test Strips

Each glucometer is available with its own test strips. You need to buy the correct strip for the glucometer. A strip has a code that must be set correctly before using.

Lancets

These are used to prick the finger and obtain a drop of blood to be placed on a test strip. Each pricking device comes with its own size of lancet. The lancets are sterile. Hence, they should not be shared.

Benefits

There are many benefits of using a glucometers for diabetics:

It allows diabetics to take care of themselves sans any need to visit doctors and labs regularly.

It works towards promoting well-being of the patient.

It helps to detect and confirm hypoglycemia.

These meters ensure better understanding of medications.

The meters helps in altering medications.

It also helps in detecting infections. Since high blood sugars may be a sign of infection or illness, timely
assistance can save many health problems.

  11. I'm 57 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 57 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of  Dr Akhigbe   total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet he used his powerful medicine to cured different diseases. we contacted his email   [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com}   He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and others diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service.
