Diabetes testing machines used to be big bulky contraptions that could only be found in a medical laboratory or a doctor’s office. Nowadays, however, the most common place to find diabetes testing machines is in the home of those afflicted with diabetes.

The new style diabetes testing machines

These are small enough to be held in the palm of the hand, as a matter of fact many of them are so small that they can be put in a case with extra test strips, calibration solution, lancets and alcohol wipes and still not take up much more room than a man’s wallet.

The days of AAA batteries are gone for most diabetes testing machines, the newest will run for an amazing length of time on small round watch batteries, and they are designed to warn you if the battery begins to run low.

The diabetes testing machines also take far less blood than was needed in days past, and this has really decreased the discomfort of those who need to check their blood sugar many times daily. Though most diabetes testing machines still require test strips, and finger pricks, they have come a long way from what they were a few years ago. Some of the new machines even feature a USB plug so that the patient can plug them into their computer and download the glucose readings; this makes it possible chart, track, and trend blood glucose readings with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Perhaps the best thing about diabetic testing machines is that some machine manufacturers and some insurance companies will provide the machines free of charge to the eligible patient. This has made the latest technology available to thousands who would otherwise have been unable to afford it.

Diabetes testing machines provide a valuable service for millions of diabetics each and every day, and the machines of today are unsurpassed in reliability, ease of use and best of all attainability.
