I am 34, height 5'10", Weight 89Kg
I don't know what's happening with me. Last year my creatinine level was 1.1, after that I took multiple lab tests in 2022 and every time it fluctuated between 1.05 to 1.20.
So now to keep my kidney healthy, I have to keep my eyes on BP & Sugar level. Which was absolutely good till 2022. But in 2023, I took test of BP and Sugar, and shockingly my sugar level is 129 in the morning and BP 130/89
Everytime my sugar was below 100 in all 1mg, thyrocare test. I dont know how it came 129. From 2-3 months I have not done any workout, and have 1-2 times junk food(burger, samosa etc) outside in a week. I took this test in a local clinic for ₹20
So guys, please suggest me a good Blood Sugar device and a BP device.
Currently I have Accu-check active device which is 4 years old, should I buy new strips or a new device ? And Dr.Trust & Omron BP device both are 2-3 years old.
I also need some good lifestyle and diet tips.

You are absolutely right bro, after losing my dad, I have some stress and overthinking also. And these days I have started fighting/argument with my family or friends for silly topics.. also I am very conscious about my health and body, and number which raises little for my blood report, BP, sugar, Kidney makes me panic that how could this happens to me even taking care of my health since teenager days. I don't smoke, no alcohol, occasionally junk food. Still numbers fluctuate and I start to panic. 🫤
First of all your sugar level and bp level is absolutely fine, so don't panic and unnecessary shoot your bp up. Relax.
If you still want the machines, go with omron bp machine, and onetouch/accu check sugar machine.
Also, if u are really concerned, then dont get panic from your random sugar check, go with hba1c (it takes 3 month sugar level in average) or go with body monitor, it takes samples every 15 min and monitor till 15 days (i forgot the name) it installs on your triceps.
Approach a kidney specialist (nephrologist) ASAP and get all the tests done (Renal package - blood & urine, USG-Abdomen) and the doctor will let you know what's wrong
1.2 mg/dL is still within the normal range (/ you can say borderline) but highly unusual for a normal person (w/ both native kidneys) of your age and fluctuations is not a good thing at all
I have already consulted a Nephrologist of Medanta Gurgaon 1 month ago. According to him, my Creatinine level is good, he didn't take interest in my report. But I have researched myself, that if the creatinine level reaches 1.1 means in future it can reach above 1.2 also.So, I have started taking care of myself to prevent or slow down any kind of Kidney issue in future.
I plan to get my blood glucose levels tested next month and I think it should be absolutely fine but still thinking to invest in a glucose monitor as I like to monitor my health on a regular basis. CGM is too expensive unfortunately.
Is 129 fasting sugar after 9 hours NBM?
NBM means 'nil by mouth' (No food, water).
Now I see many neighbours (building people), relatives gradually use new type device for blood glucose monitoring.
In that type, they do not put the blood strip back in the glucometer.
Instead, there is some USB attachment to connect to phone (mobile device).
And application gives the blood glucose reading.
I have no clue how, if at all, such thing will be calibrated.
I am dead sure, that plain devices require calibration regularly.
For sphygmomanometer, IF ONE KNOWS THE CORRECT WAY TO TAKE THE READING and patient is not fidgety, currently nothing can beat the accuracy of the conventional mercury type.
A relative had (has) an old Ormron model, which could be powered from the msins (230v), directly from AC current too.
Upper arm type it was.
Later my family too had two different upper arm type Omron models.
I prefer 'wrist type' units. Digital sphygmomanometer.
As I can use it by myself and can easily pack it in my luggage, while travelling.
In wrist type, one has to ideal be seated and bend the elbow to bring the wrist at the same height/level as the heart.
Family had a compact unit of the brand 'National'.
Later Matsushita Electric and Panasonic merged.
So now we have two three Panasonic branded 'wrist type' units.
I might be biased towards National (or recent Panasonic) for the wrist type.
Whether for others or for self, I prefer averaging three readings. (I take three back to back readings, for blood pressure).
I feel if people talk or move, during the digital sphygmomanometer operation, then readings deviate a lot.
Better not to move head or talk or ovet stress.

Moron strategy is like that of mobile brands. Launch too many similar products. It confuses the heck out of consumers. Ends up buying at-least something.
Also there is a plant named INSULIN PLANT and I gave it to my diabetic uncle who has 300 Plus sugar levels without any medicines and above 150+ with medicine two times a day. Now after eating Millet food , no rice and one left of insulin plant per day in lunch when no medicine is taken has reduced his sugar to below 120.
So reduce carbohydrate intake if your sugar level increases. Also many people eat rice more and more because of rice being polished it easily get digested so we eat more and carbohydrates intake becomes very high.
Then one fine day there will be no need for our cells to use sugar because it already has enough sugar due to high intake of carbohydrates and not physical work. Then sugar increases.
So eat good food , some mild exercise everyday , checkup with some ayurveda doctor as well if you are okay and trust ayurveda or siddha ( MANY PEOPLE DON"T and THINK its not a medical system) but ayurveda and siddha is the traditional healing system for indian in use for thousands of years and many scientific medical breakthrough have ayurvedic or siddha medicine as source.
Like use of Turmeric based TABLETS to fight cancer cells.
I don't know about all these equipment...

Don't know about blood pressure monitors but Contour Plus glucometer is pretty accurate.
More accurate than accuchek in my experience.
I had one omron blood pressure monitor, made in japan... that was BS...always gave nonsense results.
