It has been established that uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious complications like cardiovascular diseases, kidney failure, neuropathy, and vision impairment. This underscores the critical importance of regular blood sugar monitoring. While getting regular lab tests may not be feasible, using a glucometer allows you to monitor your blood sugar levels daily from the comfort of your home. With this data, diabetics can effectively manage their condition and avoid episodes of hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar) and hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). Read more here.

Why Opt for Smart Glucometers Rather Than Buying Glucose Test Strips?

People with diabetes usually purchase glucose test strips regularly to keep a constant check on their blood sugar levels. However, what if we told you that you could upgrade to advanced blood sugar monitoring technology for the same price as the test strips?
