Using a glucose meter makes blood glucose monitoring a simple and quick procedure. By choosing a device from ETALON LLC’s range, you gain the ability to monitor your condition at any time of day and promptly use the results for therapeutic purposes.
It is important to remember that systematic control of the glucose meter and test strips is essential for accurate blood glucose measurements and effective diabetes management. This includes checking calibration codes and expiration dates, proper storage (in a dry, cool place, away from light), and using strips within the specified period after opening the vial.
The operating principle is based on an electrochemical reaction between glucose in the blood sample and the enzyme glucose oxidase applied to the test strip. This interaction generates an electrical impulse of a certain strength. The device records this impulse, analyzes the parameters, and calculates the blood glucose concentration.
Using the device involves several steps and requires a single‑use sterile lancet and test strips:
- Note: all steps must be completed within 3 minutes; otherwise, environmental conditions may affect result accuracy.
- Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and dry with a tissue.
- Insert the test strip into the meter.
- Prick the skin with a single‑use sterile lancet.
- Bring the blood drop to the test strip — it will automatically absorb the required volume.
- Within 9 seconds, the meter will display the test result.
How to choose a glucose meterDespite the wide range of models on the market, choosing your first blood glucose meter can be challenging. We recommend focusing on several key criteria:
- ease of use,
- availability of sterile lancets in the kit,
- accuracy of results,
- presence of necessary functions,
- affordable price.
Glucose meters offered by ETALON LLC meet these requirements and provide convenient monitoring for adults, seniors, and children who need regular blood glucose checks.
