A glucose meter (or glucometer) is a medical device for determining the approximate concentration
of glucose in the blood. It is a key element of home blood glucose monitoring (HBGM). A small
drop of blood, obtained by pricking the skin with a lancet, is placed on a disposable test strip that the
meter reads and uses to calculate the blood glucose level. The meter then displays the level in mg/dl
or mmol/l.
Glucometers are as easy to use as the mobile phones. They are
handy, less expensive and help people with diabetes check their
blood sugar at home, school, or work. With improvements in
technology the amount of blood needed is less than a drop.
Since results are instantaneous it is ideal for doctors to use in
their clinics so that they can advice the patient how to adjust
their medications right away. They are also ideal as a bedside
monitoring aid for sick patients as it helps the nurse to
periodically check the glucose level.
With improved accuracy
and lowered costs, more and more people prefer to use the
glucometer in most situations and surely the patients are a
happier lot as they get to know their status immediately.
