If you have type-1 diabetes, latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (a condition that straddles type-1 and type-2 diabetes), type-2 diabetes, gestational diabetes (similar to type-2 but only occurs during pregnancy), monitoring blood glucose (also known as “blood sugar”) regularly is an essential approach to take more overall control of your health. By recording and identifying daily changes in your blood glucose, you can obtain more information about what makes your blood glucose levels crash or spike; for example, you can monitor the effects of medication as well as the related therapies, and you can see how your blood glucose levels respond to recent stress or exercise… in short, the more you can identify the areas in which you can improve your diabetes management, the better you can treat your diabetic conditions.

Each year, more and more people are being diagnosed with diabetes, but a large number of people with diabetes did not know their disease in time until they go to a hospital for a general checkup; on the other hand, for people who have been diagnosed with diabetes, simple, regular blood glucose tests can be lifesaving by preventing the complications associated with consistently high blood glucose, such as cardiovascular diseases, nerve damage, and kidney problems.

Currently, there are 3 major methods to obtain blood glucose readings for individuals – the blood glucose levels can be measured through a finger-stick glucose meter, by using a continuous glucose meter (CGM), or by a flash glucose monitor (FGM). FGM and CGM let users check their blood glucose levels without having to prick their fingers. The accuracy of CGM is very similar to that of FGM. The finger-stick glucose meter is relatively accurate because it measures the glucose directly from the blood versus underneath the skin. When it comes to CGM/FGM, the glucose measurement is taken from the interstitial fluid ( fluid in the tissues between cells).

• “Where can I buy more strips and needles that can work for this glucose meter?”

The strips and needles that you buy at other places may not work well with our blood glucose meter, this may affect its performance and accuracy. So if you use up the available strips and needles, you might directly contact us to buy more.

• “Can I use the blood collection needles more than once?”

Yes, you can. To prolong the working life of the needles, you might clean the finger with alcohol swabs prior to taking a blood glucose test. But anyway, sooner or later the needles will dull due to the acidity in the blood.

• “How many strips can the glucose meter read before it no longer can work?”

In general, our products can last for several years, and we offer a 1-year warranty. So please feel assured that you can do hundreds of tests for years.

• “I’m not diabetic, but I have suffered from adrenal fatigue, it is crucial for me to keep my blood glucose balanced; I have to monitor blood glucose levels throughout the day; so I want to confirm whether this device is suitable for my condition.”

Yes, you can feel free to use it; this device is mainly used by diabetic patients, but it is not confined to the treatment of diabetes; this device will make it easy for you to log and analyze your blood glucose levels in an easy and convenient manner.
