Benefits of Glucose Monitoring Devices at your Point-of-Care Practice

• Improved patient care: Glucose monitoring devices can help you provide better care to your patients by giving you real-time data on their blood sugar levels. This information can be used to adjust their treatment plans and ensure that they are getting the best possible care.
• Reduced risk of complications: Glucose monitoring devices can help your patients reduce their risk of developing complications from diabetes, such as heart disease, stroke, and blindness. By keeping their blood sugar levels under control, your patients can stay healthy and avoid these serious complications.
• Increased patient satisfaction: Glucose monitoring devices can help your patients feel more in control of their diabetes. By being able to track their blood sugar levels and make adjustments to their diet and lifestyle, your patients can feel more confident about managing their condition.

What do Blood Glucose Monitoring Devices Test?

Blood glucose monitoring devices test the amount of glucose (sugar) in a patient’s blood. Glucose is the main source of energy for the body, but too much glucose in your blood can be harmful to health.

Blood glucose monitoring devices are used for patients with diabetes to manage their blood sugar levels.

Blood glucose monitoring devices are also used to monitor patients who are at risk for developing diabetes, such patients with obesity, have a family history of diabetes, or have high blood pressure.

How do Blood Glucose Monitoring Devices Work?

Blood glucose monitoring devices work by measuring the amount of glucose in a small drop of blood. The blood sample is usually taken from a finger prick.

The blood sample is placed on a test strip, which is then inserted into a glucose meter. The glucose meter reads the test strip and displays the blood sugar level on a screen.

Types of Blood Glucose Monitoring Devices?

There are two main types of blood glucose monitoring devices:

• Traditional blood glucose meters: Traditional blood glucose meters require you to prick your finger and place a drop of blood on a test strip. The test strip is then inserted into the meter, which displays the blood sugar level on a screen.
• Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems: CGM systems use a sensor that is inserted under the skin to measure blood sugar levels continuously. The sensor sends the blood sugar levels to a receiver or smartphone app, which displays the information on a screen.
