Accurate blood glucose self-monitoring is the key to good glycemic control. To implement accurate blood glucose monitoring, we must first select a high-precision blood glucose meter, choose a high-precision blood glucose meter from the following two aspects:

     First: check the blood glucose meter itself "quality."

     According to the expert's opinion, should understand the instrument quality from five steps.

     The first step: to see if the quality is guaranteed. See if blood glucose meters are certified by some authority: Approvals and certifications such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Union (CE). This blood glucose meter only with quality assurance. The second step: look at the convenience of blood glucose meter operation. Blood glucose meter less steps, because of the error caused by improper operation less. The third step: focus on blood pain pain. Select less blood sampling blood glucose meter can be more parts, the pain is small, so that the patient's fear of blood can be alleviated to avoid mood swings, with such instruments to measure the higher accuracy. The fourth step: in-depth understanding of the measurement principle of blood glucose meter. Traditional optical blood glucose meter probe exposed to the air, it is easily contaminated, to regular inspection, cleaning and maintenance. However, the use of bio-electrochemical blood glucose meter, you do not need regular cleaning and maintenance.

     The fifth step: the last should understand the technology used test strips. First, test strips and blood sugar chemical reaction. Such as the current use of glucose dehydrogenase test strips, not easy with the oxygen in the air oxidation reaction, the preservation and use of a small interference level. Second, the test paper on the instrument startup technology. In the past, lack of blood test strips, will start the blood glucose meter, the measured results will be biased. Patients should choose to have a "lack of blood does not start" feature test strips. Omega blood glucose meter represented by the test paper is the application of this technology. And it is understood that the blood glucose meter introduced by Omron not only through the FDA certification in the country have also been Shanghai First Affiliated Hospital of People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University, Beijing General Hospital of People's Liberation Army, Tongji Hospital, three institutions to its accuracy certification, the use of improved bioelectric measurement Act is a high specificity of blood glucose, blood volume is small, can be more parts of blood, easy to operate, easy to use in the elderly.

     Second: focus on blood glucose meter "humane" features

     Blood glucose monitoring error, but also with the incorrect use of a relationship. Therefore, if the blood glucose meter through some technical means, try to overcome some human error, such a blood glucose meter is truly accurate, user-friendly blood glucose meter.

     Non-standard blood collection problems often occur. Some blood glucose meters may require secondary blood sampling because they are not properly handled by the patient and the test strip is separated from the blood droplet. However, the instrument has been started, which may affect the reliability of the measurement results. While other blood glucose meters such as Omron's supporting strip itself has the additional blood function, and lack of blood will not start, in addition to the size of blood volume will affect the accuracy of measurement, and some patients in need of large blood glucose meter , I found that lack of blood volume, will squeeze your fingers to supplement the blood, resulting in a large number of tissue fluid is squeezed into the blood, but also greatly affected the accuracy of the measurement, the use of a small amount of such as Omron 0.3 microliters blood glucose meter , We can well avoid the problem of inaccurate measurement.

     In addition, it is worth reminding that the test strips are sensitive to the stored humidity environment and moisture can affect the measurement results. The best "single-chip test strip" technology to overcome this problem. So that when using one of the test strips, the other test strips are not affected at all.
