For many people who have been diagnosed with diabetes, may not be able to afford the equipment associated with diabetes so there is hope – free glucose monitors. Free glucose monitors, free glucose test strips and free diabetic supplies don’t go unnoticed to the people who need it the most.

For a lot of people in this horrible, low economy that we are in the paychecks doesn’t change, but the bills still come in and often times go up. Being a diabetic definitely puts a damper on things because there are so many extra costs associated with the disease. Diabetics have various medications, glucose test strips, glucose monitors and much more, but often times people find themselves choosing between their healths and putting food on the table.

There is hope; just like hospice is there for cancer patients and people with terminal diseases, there are associations that are in place to help people who can’t otherwise afford glucose monitors and diabetic supplies.

These associations will loan out or give out free glucose monitors, free glucose test strips and free diabetic supplies because they know the importance of trying to stay healthy and safe.

For many of these companies they get this equipment because other people have donated their equipment maybe after someone they know has passed or through donations.

Free glucose monitors and free glucose test strips are in top demand because to a diabetic being able to keep an eye and monitor their daily fasting blood glucose is often times the meaning of life and death.

By being able to get a free glucose monitor, a diabetic can keep their own journal or log without having to go into the doctor’s often frequently and they will be allowed a chance to have some form of independence. A free glucose monitor or free diabetic supplies too many is like opening a new present at Christmas time! It is a blessing.

The BD glucose test meter is so small that is fits neatly in the palm of the hand and so light at to be practically unnoticed when stowed in a purse of carry bag for easy travelling.

The newest BD glucose test meter is a miniature when compared to the bulky meters that were available just a few years ago, and it is so sensitive that it takes only the smallest amount of blood to read the glucose level. This means that a thinner gauge lancet can be used to obtain the blood sample and this of course means a great deal less discomfort than the meters that were used just a few years ago.
