Diabetes glucose meter strips are an integral part of a diabetic’s life. These strips are available widely these days online. Different companies and brand names offer these strips. The latest ones are technologically advanced and do not make patients go through the hassles of coding. However, the old ones would still require patients to understand codes and follow them in order to get accurate results.
What Is Coding?
Most glucose meters available on the market use a plastic test strip. The strip is coated with glucose oxidase. These strips may vary from batch to batch. Most Diabetes Glucose Meter Strips will have a code or a chip. This is for the user to enter prior to using the meter with the new batch of strips.
When the user enters the code, glucose meter and the diabetic test strips are calibrated to ensure accurate readings. This is based on the amount of glucose oxidase coated on the strips in the package.
The problem with the coding system is that if the user forgets to recode the meter when using a new box of test strips, the readings will be incorrect. The results will not accurate if the user enters the code improperly. The inaccuracies may vary. The readings on the meter can be off by about 43 per cent. This may not be a good option for those actively managing diabetes. Since an incorrect meter would encourage them to take wrong dose of insulin that further increase his or her risk of hypoglycaemia and other diabetes-related complications, it is not wise to rely on coding completely.
These days, many companies gave come up with glucose meters and strips with "no coding" claim. This means no coding is involved for getting accurate meter reading. These meters calibrate automatically via checking the strip electronically.
