Choosing a blood glucose meter
I want to monitor my blood glucose as I have a family history of
diabetes and have been diagnosed as early stage prediabetic. My GP says I don't need to do this and should monitor once per year with a blood test. I'd rather monitor it myself as well, so I think this counts as DIY. I'm confused by the large number of meters & test strips available, and most articles I read are either marketing puff or clickbait that ends up talking about what meters do and why its useful, which I know already. Just wondering if anyone on the forum has any opinions on a meter that: a) Is simple & inexpensive (I don't need bluetooth, app integration etc) b) Is reasonably accurate (I'd hope they all need to meet an accuracy standard anyway) c) Has test strips that are reasonably cheap and easily available. I'll only be measuring a couple of times a day at home, so no need for "lifestyle" stuff. |
