Compared with the large biochemical equipment in the hospital, the main disadvantages of the blood glucose meter are:
1. Lack of accuracy. At present, the international standard for blood glucose meters is plus or minus 20% when it is greater than it, which means that it is acceptable within the error range of plus or minus 20%. The new international standard will impose a stricter limit of plus or minus 15% for more than 15 percent.
The accuracy of the results of the hospital equipment can be considered 100%.
2. Affected by testing conditions. Temperature, humidity, altitude, etc., will affect the blood glucose meter test results. Hospital equipment has stable operating conditions and is not affected by this.
3. Affected by human factors. Whether there are contaminants during the blood collection, such as alcohol. Whether the blood is squeezed to cause tissue fluid to mix into the sample. In the hospital, it is less affected because it is not operated by the patient.
The role of a blood glucose meter is to monitor, not to detect, and monitoring is to take advantage of the good repeatability of the meter. It mainly helps to adjust the dosage of medication and understand the trend of blood sugar changes.
This is the problem of blood glucose meters, so all brands of blood glucose meters will be inaccurate, in fact, most of them are just the user's lack of knowledge about blood sugar. The standard of hospital blood glucose meters is the same, and the accuracy is relative.
Sannuo's blood glucose meter, the key to recommending this is that the test strip is cheap, but from the Sannuo business, I understand that there are a lot of customer complaints about Sannuo, of course, the accuracy is normally in line with +-20%, and the repetition is not very good.
Shijiale's blood pressure and blood sugar all-in-one machine, this blood pressure and blood sugar can be measured, blood sugar is implemented in the new international standard plus or minus 15%, I personally think the gift is good, but because it is a wrist-type blood pressure monitor, blood pressure is not suitable for the elderly more than 70 years old, the old man's wrist blood vessels are not sensitive enough, so the measured value is easy to be inaccurate, and the blood sugar is still very good.
Roche and Johnson & Johnson blood glucose meter, this person thinks that the accuracy is very high, the results are close to biochemical, and the repeatability is also very good, but the test strip ** is more expensive, for people with higher accuracy requirements, you can consider it.
If you want to test the strip, it is recommended to buy it online, the pharmacy is really not that expensive, and it is convenient online, so you can pay attention to the channel.

Recommend the Ansugar blood glucose meter, good price, accurate.
-
The Depak blood glucose meter is good, ** at about six hundred, I was engaged in activities when I bought it, and I melted a lot of test strips, which was very affordable.
-
The Depak blood glucose meter is good, and the price is around five or six hundred.

How to choose a blood glucose meter:
1. Look at the test principle.
There are two main principles of blood glucose meters: photochemical and electrochemical. A photochemical blood glucose meter is similar to a CD machine and has a photoelectric head.
The photochemical blood glucose meter is relatively slow and the blood collection volume is large, while the electrochemical blood glucose meter is fast and the error range is positive and negative. Under normal use, no calibration is required.
Blood collection method. The blood glucose test strips used in blood glucose testing are specially matched with various brands of blood glucose meters, and cannot be used among brands. There are two types of blood glucose strips currently on the market: drip and siphon.
Blood glucose test strips, the test requires a large number of blood samples, and the blood sample needs to be added to the test strip drops, too many blood drops, too few or inaccurate positions will affect the test value. The blood glucose test strip using the siphon automatic blood sucking method requires less blood sample, the sample amount can be automatically controlled, and the test strip has a confirmation point that can show whether the blood is appropriate, which is simple to operate, and can also avoid the error of adding blood samples, so as to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
Test modes and buttons.
The test mode of the blood glucose meter is very important, the test process is fully automatic means that the blood glucose test strip can be automatically turned on, after adding the blood sample, the test program will be displayed and the test result will be automatically stored, this blood glucose meter is simple to use and helps to provide more accurate test results. Sometimes patients need to adjust the necessary correction code of the blood glucose meter, query the stored results and delete the stored results, so it is necessary for the blood glucose meter to have the appropriate number and size, and the function is clearly distinguished.
2. Look at the condition of the instrument.
For example, whether the lancet is convenient to use, as well as to check the amount of blood needed, the time of instrument reading, the size and clarity of the display, the convenience of battery replacement, whether the appearance is beautiful, what the size is, and so on.
3. Look at the service.
You should be aware of the warranty period, warranty items and other after-sales services of the blood glucose meter, as well as the availability of test strips. A good brand blood glucose meter is very perfect after sale, and there are more warranty and replacement services.
4. Look**.
In the purchase of blood glucose meters, the key is not the most important, the key is quality, which needs to be comprehensively measured. In fact, the ** of the test strip is more important, the instrument is a one-time cost, but the purchase of the test strip is long-term. Choose a test strip that can be stable for a long time, and the test strip can save a lot of economic expenditure, and you can't blindly look for a rare type of blood glucose meter, and ignore the test strip, which diabetic patients must pay attention to.
5. Look at the function.
When purchasing, pay attention to the size of the memory capacity and whether it comes with functions such as time and date, because the storage results without time and date will make it impossible to distinguish between postprandial blood sugar and fasting blood glucose values. In addition, after the test, the memory of the test results can help to understand the changes in blood sugar over time. Therefore, appropriate storage capacity is very necessary.

Consumers who buy blood glucose meters are most concerned about understanding the principle of the product and how to avoid errors and improve the accuracy of the test.
In fact, the blood glucose meters on the market are nothing more than two categories: sub-induction principle blood glucose meter and spectrophotometric principle blood glucose meter.
1. The principle of electronic induction is a relatively new technology, which uses the principle of detecting the current signal generated during the reaction to reflect the blood glucose value. The principle of electronic sensing is not affected by the operation of bright light environments, and hyperlipidemia and hyperbilirubinemia tests are not interfered with. However, the microwave oven and mobile phone in use will affect the accuracy of the instrument; Therefore, when using this type of instrument for blood glucose monitoring, the instrument should be protected from electromagnetic radiation.
You can choose based on your actual usage.
2. Spectrophotometry is a traditional technique, which detects the color change of the test strip during the reaction to reflect the blood glucose value. The advantage of spectrophotometry is that it is relatively mature and stable, and in an emergency, it can be used to assist in judging the blood glucose level by visually checking the color change on the back of the test strip. However, operating in a strong light environment will produce errors (such as outdoors in summer); In addition, patients with hyperlipidemia and hyperbilirubinemia will also have an increased error when testing with this blood glucose meter.
The additional features of the blood glucose meter are also factors that must be considered. Some blood glucose meters have the ability to automatically discard test strips, turn on automatically, calculate averages, and come with a quality control solution and test card, which will bring a lot of convenience to your daily monitoring. In addition, since the blood glucose meter must be matched with test strips to detect blood sugar, it is best to choose some products with good reputation and brand, so that after-sales service and test strips can be used.
The above two types of products have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is not enough evidence to prove that the principle is better, but in terms of accuracy, it can meet the needs of home self-monitoring.
There is not much difference in the principle of blood glucose meters, the key is how to choose a blood glucose meter that suits you: in fact, finding the right positioning is very easy to solve, we temporarily divide diabetic patients into the following groups:
1. Middle-aged and elderly people, who have been sick for more than 10 years, with an average age of 40 years old Middle-aged and elderly people aged 60 are prone to blurred vision and other symptoms because of their long illness, so it is recommended to buy products with large screen fonts.
2. Young people, sick for less than 10 years, with an average age of 25 years old and 35 years old, chasing fashion and efficiency, can choose powerful fashion products with data analysis.
After finding the correct positioning, it is much easier to buy a blood glucose meter, choose a more famous brand as much as possible, the big brand is more reassuring in terms of quality and consumer psychology, as for **, products with similar functions**, there is not much fluctuation, and the price difference is within 50 yuan.
At present, the blood glucose often used in hospitals is Roche or Johnson & Johnson's blood glucose meter, both of which are foreign and relatively accurate. However, you can also choose a domestic blood glucose meter, and the accuracy of the domestic blood glucose meter is also okay. Whether you choose a domestic or imported blood glucose meter, it needs to be calibrated regularly. >>>More
If your blood sugar is high, buying one is a must. This makes it easy to monitor your blood sugar levels, especially on a date as complicated as pregnancy. >>>More
At present, there is only a minimally invasive blood glucose meter, which is Abbott's Lisutan blood glucose meter. This blood glucose meter uses the coulombic electricity method, which is a patented protection technology, and other blood glucose meters cannot achieve this technology, only a microliter of blood volume is required, and blood is collected from six parts of the body. >>>More
The meaning is almost the same, that is, you can better understand the level of blood sugar control, the average value is high, the glycosylated hemoglobin measurement must not be low, and the probability of complications is also low. >>>More
Accurate, approved ones are clinical. So accurate. Hospitals are generally large biochemical, venous blood. A blood glucose meter is the blood of the capillaries. If the blood glucose meter is compared with the hospital's biochemistry, the error is accurate at 20%.
