Blood glucose monitor system is an important part of diabetes management, so it is very important for sugar friends to choose a suitable blood glucose meter. What are the tips for choosing a blood glucose monitor?
Tips for Choosing a Blood Glucometer
Low pain and low blood requirement. When monitoring blood sugar, it is often necessary to prick your fingers, so the feeling of pain and the amount of blood used are factors that must be considered when purchasing a blood glucose meter.
The measured values are more accurate. Without measuring blood glucose, one cannot timely understand their own condition control, which is not conducive to disease control. But if the blood glucose meter cannot accurately measure and cannot reflect the true blood glucose situation, it will also delay treatment. So the accuracy of the blood glucose meter is crucial.
After sales is guaranteed. When choosing a blood glucose meter, it is recommended to choose a brand with quality assurance, large manufacturers, and comprehensive after-sales service. For example, our Sejoy blood glucose meter comes with a 2-year warranty.
In order to meet the needs of different populations for the use of blood glucose meters, Sejoy blood glucose meters have emerged with the trend, and compared to other blood glucose meters, they have advantages in the following aspects:
BG-201 Product Introduction
Complies with the new national standard: It complies with the international standard ISO 15197: 2013 and has good stability and repeatability.
Accurate measurement values: The accuracy of the test strips has been comprehensively upgraded, and each test strip comes with its own identity recognition, ensuring that each detection does not deviate from the error range; Three electrode system for more accurate measurement!
Wider adaptability: The applicable range of hematocrit is 30% -55%, which is widely applicable to the elderly and children, meeting the testing needs of more applicable populations.
How to determine whether the blood glucose meter is accurate?
Sugar enthusiasts often ask: Why do I measure my blood sugar twice in a row, but the values are different? Is my blood glucose meter not good?
In fact, it is normal for the test results of the blood glucose meter to deviate, but the range of deviation still needs to be within a certain range. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China stipulates that the error standard for blood glucose meter is qualified if 95% of the deviation of the results measured by the blood glucose meter meets the following requirements.
Kind reminder: The accuracy of the blood glucose meter is compared with the venous blood in the hospital at the same time.
When the blood glucose value is less than 5.55mmol/L, the allowable deviation (=blood glucose meter value – biochemical value) range is ± 0.83. For example, if the blood glucose value is 5, the range of 4.17-5.83 measured by the blood glucose meter is the allowable error.
When the blood glucose value is greater than or equal to 5.55mmol/L, the allowable deviation is (blood glucose meter value – biochemical value)/the range of biochemical values does not exceed ± 15%. For example, if the biochemical blood glucose value is 10 and the blood glucose meter measurement results are within the allowable error range of 8.5~11.5.
Therefore, as long as the measurement error of the blood glucose meter is within this range, it is a qualified blood glucose meter.
