What should I pay attention to when buying a blood glucose meter?

First of all, it is recommended to buy a big brand, and some mainstream home blood glucose meters in the market can be used. Secondly, pay attention to the blood glucose meter, the most important thing is the test strip and needle, the general blood glucose meter is the test strip is the most expensive, followed by the needle, pay attention to safety and hygiene, it is best to buy independent packaging, because the overall packaging of the test strip is easy to expire, resulting in the test strip test error.

When purchasing a blood glucose meter, be sure to ask about the blood glucose test strip used with the blood glucose meter at the same time, blood glucose test strip is a consumable item, and long-term use is a big expense. At present, the vast majority of blood glucose meters have memory functions, and some blood glucose meters also have data upload functions, which can bring certain help to the blood sugar management of sugar friends, such as the memory function can facilitate patients and doctors to query the past blood sugar situation, and the data upload function can make the previous blood glucose data into charts, so that the patient's blood sugar changes can be clearly expressed.

My husband's blood sugar is relatively high, and my family has bought two blood glucose meters, according to our family's experience in purchasing blood glucose meters, we should pay attention to the following two points when purchasing:

Clause. First, we must choose a well-known large manufacturer, don't choose those three-no products in order to save money, the first blood glucose meter we bought was greedy for cheap, and after testing it a few times, it was found that the error was very large, and finally we had to throw it away and buy it again.

Clause. 2. Try to choose a blood glucose meter with a small amount of blood collection, so that the wound will heal better, and the accuracy of the measurement will be higher.

1. For most diabetic patients, it is only necessary to use a blood glucose meter to accurately measure blood sugar, and then record the measurement results. Therefore, diabetic patients with average economic conditions are still practical, and it is more appropriate to choose an economical blood glucose meter, which only costs about 4 yuan each time a test strip is used.

2. Patients with good economic conditions who want to manage their condition with the help of the storage and analysis functions of the blood glucose meter, or patients who need to display the results on a large screen with poor eyesight, as well as patients who have difficulty in operating themselves and need the blood glucose meter to directly prompt the key points of operation, can choose a multi-functional blood glucose meter.

1) Understand the warranty period of the blood glucose meter, when buying a blood glucose meter, you should first consult the warranty period of the product, and also ask whether there is an extended warranty service, the extended warranty service is generally charged, you can choose whether to extend the warranty according to your actual situation;

2) Provide after-sales service of the blood glucose meter, not only will bear the product maintenance and return problems, if you have any questions during the use of the blood glucose meter, you can also call **** for consultation.

The purchase of blood glucose meters should be purchased through merchants with formal practice qualifications, because such products on the market are uneven, so the blood glucose meters purchased through some informal channels may sometimes mislead us, so for our health or to buy through formal channels. On the other hand, don't be greedy for a small bargain, or buy some high-quality, quality-guaranteed, after-sales service goods.

I think the choice of blood glucose meter should pay attention to a very simple point, that is, a blood glucose meter that is convenient for the elderly to operate. Because the old man's ability to contact new things is not very strong, if you give him a blood glucose meter, its use is not very simple, then it will be very difficult for the elderly to use, so you must choose a blood glucose meter that is easy to operate and easy for the elderly to understand.

Personal experience, when I first found out that I had diabetes, I knew very little about diabetes, so I went to buy a Roche blood glucose meter. At first, I tested it often, but after using it for a while, I felt that the ** of this blood sugar test strip was quite high. It is also a lot of expense to be used.

I was going to buy Sannuo and Yuyue domestic brands. These test strips are a lot cheaper. But the accuracy of learning about domestic brands is not so high.

I thought that the accuracy was not high, it was cheap and worthless, and I didn't test it often now. In the end, I gave up and changed.

Don't buy some particularly cheap instruments for the best reasons, don't buy some niche brands, buy popular brands, after all, you must be responsible for yourself for the things you use, you can't choose blind spots, you have to choose a durable one that suits you. It is also appropriate to spend a little more money for health.
