Glucometer

Plz go and talk to your family doctor.

He /she will recommend a model. Take number of supplier since doctor would be buying strips in bulk.

It has to be taken to pathology lab and results calibrated simultaneously since tolerance level of 5% – 7% exists in their machines. Path labs are 100% accurate.

A doctor will always recommend brand in which he/she is getting a cut.
In labs too I have seen them using simple machines which are available online, can’t recall the names. Do they use high end machines too?

Coffee’s on me when and if we meet.
No company has mentioned anything about the tolerance anywhere. Can’t we trust these home machines with a pinch of salt?

5% difference will come in labs also….. I am using accucheck for mom, it’s goot

Accuchek active Glucometer is the largest selling and most trusted model. No other model comes anywhere near it in terms of accuracy and reliability. Doctors also use the same but do not get any cut on recommending this one. They may recommend a different, lesser known brand/model for some commission, but not this one.

Initially it was manufactured in Germany and was costly. But now manufacturing has shifted to China, which has made it cheaper. Initially they were taking undue advantage of their reputation and were selling glucometer testing strips with chips so that one packet can be used in one machine only. But now all strips can be used in any machine

What about the pin and strips? Special design to be used with this model only?

Selling strips with chips? What does this mean bro.
When you say all strips can be used in any mean, did you mean all accucheck strips can be used in any accucheck model? Any idea about result tolerance?

You need to wait for few days or weeks before giving karma again to same person or u have exhausted your Karma power after giving to many so u need to wait it quota is restored.
Many dimers are not aware of giving K in return, some do not even bother to like the reply.
I am unaware of Glucometers – never there was a need in family too
Will talk to friend and let u know

Their used to be a insertable chip with every packet of strips, which had to be inserted in the glucometer before using the strips in the pack. However now all strips csn be used in different machines but same models. Which means you csn share your pack of glucometer strips with multiple people if they have the same model.

As per ISO standards, error of 15% is allowed w.r.t. laboratory measurements and Accuchek is ISO compliant. Don’t think other brands are ISO compliant or not. Since Accuchek has been in use for several decades, its accuracy levels are established and variations wrt lab tests are constant.

You can search online on Amazon and Flipkart. Its the largest selling brand

You go to your doctor. Ask for a suggestion. Come back home, go to zingoy.com, buy the glucometer using your affiliate link and using GV/card offers from Amazon/Flipkart. I want to understand how and where did the doctor get a cut in that ?

Why tag them? Wont they take the cut? What if they ask to buy using their affiliate link?

Some people don’t trust doctors, not even their family doctor but still want free suggestions from doctors!

I prefer to avoid such people.

Can you share the link of the one which you are using?
Also instead of the use and throw pin thing to take out blood, how is that pen shipped pricker which is used in clinics?

My point was that I am not going to a doctor just to ask for this. If it is an urgency then after taking his recommendation I will buy from local market as it is needed on urgent basis. As I have no idea about this field so I will ask him about the shop and all and hence the cut thing.

You seem to be offended by this. I owe you a cup of coffee bro. Cheers.

Accu-Chek Active Glucose Monitor with 10 Strips Glucometer
https://dl.flipkart.com/dl/accu-chek-active-glu...

Never seen any glucometer with use and throw type lancets used for pricking the finger for a drop of blood. Most Lancet pricker devices are in the form of pen which can be used multiple times. After several usages, pin of the lancet device can be replaced. In the pen, depth of the pin pricking can be adjusted on a scale of 1-5 depending on skin type.

Cost of glucometer is not important as it is a one-time purchase which will last for 20 years with lifetime warranty. The gluco strips are the main consumables and 2-3 packets of 50 nos. are more than the cost of glucometer
