Freestyle Glucose Meter
from: By William Ridgeway
In order to sum things up, today I will be talking about diabetes testing supplies. More specifically, freestyle test strips and glucose monitors and their features. I have been through so many obstacles as a diabetic with so many different topics. So, today I would like to simply address a few of them. Please know that this article is not intended to be taken as medical advice. This article pertains only to my experiences and such. Anyways, lets get started!
I have had several different blood glucose monitoring systems over my diabetic career and this one has by far been my favorite. I do not work for the freestyle blood glucose monitoring system company in any way, I have just been really satisfied with their product. I have had one touch and contour supplies in the past and was happy with them as well. This one has given my some very accurate results. I have not had any troubles with readings so far. The diagnostics test with the little bottle of "fake blood" as I call it turned out to be accurate. I am referring to the bottle that comes with the meter that is supposed to be used as a calibrations test. I put the solution onto the test strip and then got a reading. On the test strip bottle, there is a range that the reading that I got should be in, if not, then that is supposed to suggest that there is a defect with the monitoring system or the glucose test strips.
I am not totally sure if all of this is correct, but I think that it is. Anyways, the reading that I got with the solution was within the specified range. As for the freestyle meter, everything has been accurate and great. The test strips that are supposed to be used with it have worked great as well. They require only a small amount of blood in order to get a reading. I am so glad that the diabetes testing supply companies have started improving this part. A long time ago, I used to have to put more blood in the strip to get a reading and many times would not get enough and an error message would come up. This meant that I would have to do it all over again in order to get my blood glucose reading. So far, I have not gotten a single error message, and hopefully it will stay that way! I do not like having to throw away those expensive little things! If you would like to learn more about the freestyle glucose meter then you should check out their website. There is a lot of interesting information about it there.
Thanks for reading this article, for more information about the freestyle line of products, check out freestyle glucose meter or freestyle test strips for more information. I hope that you have a great day!
