What is the Best Glucose Meter?
This is a tricky question as there is no right answer for everyone.
Guide for Selecting a Glucose Meter.
- Cost: For most people living with diabetes, the cost can be a major factor when choosing a meter. Although the cost of the meter should be a factor in your decision, the test strips are the consumable product for blood glucose testing. Make sure to check on the cost of the test strips before choosing a meter.
- Features: What really matters to you? Do you need 90 day averaging? Do you need a talking glucose meter? Do you need a glucose monitor that lights up so you can see it better? Really think about the features you need before deciding on a device.
- Test Result Logging: Each meter has its own logging limits, so if you need 90 day averaging, you need to consider that in your decision.
- Product Availability: Just because you've found a glucose meter and test strips for a great price doesn't mean you can find that brand of test strips when you run short while on vacation or out of town when it's time for a refill. Product availability should be considered when choosing a brand.
Don't forget that when it comes to testing your blood glucose levels, in addition to your glucose meter, you will also need test strips, control solution, lancets, and lancing devices. Don't forget to log your results in a log book.
