Controlling Diabetes Gestational with blood glucose monitoring

What is blood glucose monitoring?

Blood Glucose monitoring helps people with diabetes manage the disease and avoid its associated problems. A person can use the results of Diabetes Gestational glucose monitoring to make decisions about food, physical activity, and medications. The most common way to check glucose levels involves pricking a fingertip with an automatic lancing device to obtain a blood sample and then using a glucose meter to measure the blood sample’s glucose level.

What is continuous blood glucose monitoring?

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems use a tiny sensor inserted under the skin to check glucose levels in tissue fluid. The sensor stays in place for several days to a week and then must be replaced. A transmitter sends information about glucose levels via radio waves from the sensor to a pager like wireless monitor. The user must check blood samples with a diabetes glucose meter to program the devices. Because currently approved CGM devices are not as accurate and reliable as standard diabetes glucose meter, users should confirm glucose levels with a diabetes glucose meter before making a change in treatment.

Bayer Diabetes Care is committed to patient safety and has a portfolio of diabetes glucose meter that all meet the current FDA requirements. The company adheres to and supports the highest standard of quality in diabetes glucose meter and strives to do everything possible by a manufacturer to ensure the accuracy of readings. Bayer Diabetes Care meters is designed to minimize the impact from as many external variants as possible, helping to ensure accuracy of readings. Bayer's and CONTOUR systems both feature No Coding(TM) technology, and no interference with common substances including the non-glucose sugars maltose and galactose.
