A glucometer, also known as a glucose meter, is a portable medical device designed to measure the amount of glucose in your blood. Using a fingerstick sample, this device consists of a digital meter, lancets (small needles), a lancet device for adjusting depth, test strips, a control solution, and tracking software or a blood glucose logbook. The test strips contain a glucose-specific enzyme reacting to the blood sample, and the device reads the strip using electrochemical technology.
Benefits of Glucometers
Glucometers offer several benefits for those managing diabetes:
- Staying on track with blood sugar goals.
- Preventing emergency room visits due to high or low blood sugar.
- Achieving long-term success in blood sugar control reduces complications like heart, kidney, or eye disease.
