Glucometers and cholesterolometers
In some diseases, regular measurement of vital signs is an important part of monitoring and treating patients. Among such diseases is diabetes. Monitoring blood glucose levels helps maintain them within the target range. It is also important for diabetics to control obesity and coronary heart disease. For this, a glucometer with cholesterol and hemoglobin measurement is used.
Advanced capabilities of a glucometer with cholesterol determination
One of the very important methods of tracking the progression of diabetes is regular monitoring of the patient's glucose level. Fortunately, there are many devices that allow you to get such readings in the comfort of your home. But it is equally important to monitor other health indicators that may go beyond the range under the influence of a systemic disease. A glucometer with cholesterol determination provides advanced health information. And the patient only needs to maintain normal glucose and cholesterol levels using physical activity and a proper diet.
Previously, cholesterol could only be measured through laboratory tests. Today, anyone in Ukraine can buy glucometers with cholesterol measurement. A home glucometer for cholesterol, which can be ordered inexpensively from the Rad Pharm online store, provides patients with convenience and accuracy of measurements.
A cholesterol glucometer allows you to get an instant result without leaving your home, which is especially important for older patients, sedentary and immobile patients. The device for measuring cholesterol and blood sugar is currently widely used in emergency departments and doctors' offices, in intensive care units.
Features of using a glucometer and cholesterol meter
A portable glucometer and cholesterol meter includes:
- user manual;
- calibration chip;
- test strips for determining glucose;
- test strips for determining cholesterol;
- control solution;
- lancets;
- alcohol swabs;
- AAA batteries;
- carrying case.
Different manufacturers of blood sugar and cholesterol meters include a different set of components, so it is important to familiarize yourself with the package before purchasing. The price and ease of use of the device depend on it. Before use, the cholesterol and blood sugar meter is tested with a control solution. This should be done at least once every three months if the patient experiences symptoms that do not match the results of the device, or when opening a new bottle of test strips.
Separate test strips must be used to test glucose and cholesterol levels, and the two readings cannot be taken at the same time. To obtain accurate results, approximately 3 and 15 µL of blood must be obtained for testing glucose and cholesterol levels, respectively. The blood sample is most often obtained from the fingertip, which is pricked with a lancet. In addition to the fingertip, some models allow the use of the upper arm, forearm, base of the thumb, and thigh.
The cholesterol meter operates in the range of 150 to 350 mg/dL. The glucometer - in the range of 50 to 400 mg/dL. The testing time takes no more than 30 seconds. Home tests are not as accurate as laboratory tests, but they can be useful if personal visits to the doctor are inconvenient for the patient due to distance or other reasons. Also, the price of the device quickly pays off when compared with the cost of laboratory tests in Ukraine.
Modern glucometers and cholesterol meters contain a built-in memory bank that can store the last 99 glucose readings and the last 50 cholesterol readings. More detailed user instructions accompany each individual model of equipment.
