1. For most patients with diabetes, only use the blood glucose meter to accurately measure blood glucose, and then record the measurement results. Therefore, diabetes patients with general economic conditions still focus on practicality. It is more appropriate to choose an economic blood glucose meter. It only costs about 4 yuan to use one test paper each time.
2. Patients with good economic conditions who want to use the storage and analysis functions of the blood glucose meter for disease management, or patients with poor vision who need to display the results on a large screen, and patients who have difficulties in their own operation and need the blood glucose meter to directly prompt the key points of operation can choose the multi-functional blood glucose meter.
3. Patients with multiple metabolic abnormalities, who need to monitor multiple indicators at the same time, and who have relatively abundant economic conditions, can choose the luxury blood glucose meter.
It should be pointed out that the blood glucose test paper of various models of blood glucose meters can not be used for each other, so patients must purchase the test paper that conforms to this model according to their own blood glucose meter model in order to accurately play the role of detection.
Therefore, if the economic conditions of diabetes patients permit, it is best to have a blood glucose meter at home. In particular, patients with gestational diabetes, type 1 diabetes, large fluctuations in blood glucose, who have used insulin pumps, are undergoing intensive insulin therapy, or are prone to undetectable hypoglycemia at ordinary times must have a blood glucose meter at home for strict blood glucose monitoring. In order to correctly use the blood glucose meter, patients also need to receive training on the basic knowledge of diabetes, the significance of monitoring, how to see the analysis results and how to learn insulin injection.
