Choosing a Meter:
It is well known that tight glucose control can markedly reduce
the complications of diabetes. Home blood glucose monitoring
has become a cornerstone of glucose control and overall diabetes
management.
A variety of features should be considered when choosing a
meter.
- Meter size
- Blood sample size
- Time from sampling to results
- Test strips can be packaged in vials or foil -- foil allows
for carring individuals strips
The One Touch Ultra by LifeScan is the most popular meter
in the world. You have probably seen their TV commercials
with BB King. The Freestyle by Abbott has been gaining in
popularity since it's release last year. Both are excellent
choices.
