Blood sugar meter?!
Question:
Blood sugar meter?
What is the best blood sugar meter I can buy. I don't know if its the same as a blood glucose meter but I need to know the best one I can buy.
Answers:
I recommend Accu Check. I have been using these for years and I love them. They are easy to use, accurate, small and easy to carry around.
I use the Accu Chek Compact. The reason I love this particular meter is the fact that instead of using individual test strips, it uses a cartridge or "drum". There is no need to mess with single test strips. I have 3 of them...one for home, one for work and one that stays in a bag that goes with me in the car when I'm going to be away from home for more than a couple of hours.
Choosing a meter is really a matter of personal preference. Find the one that works for you. You will probably get many different suggestions but it's really your choice. You can ask a pharmacist for recommendations too.
