One Touch Blood Sugar

One Touch Blood SugarMy grandmother is a diabetic and she has been on insulin for over 16 years now. Over the years I have seen her try many different meters and always had the same looks and same experience with each one.

The idea of pain and agony and not wanting to take her blood. Around three months ago, she started using the one touch blood sugar meter or the one touch ultra mini.

This came in a large box and had the Mini Meter, a lancing device, test strips, lancets, a bottle of control solution, an owner’s manual, logbook, a quick start guide, and One Touch Management Software. She really likes the True Track system, and as she gets the test strips for free, she wanted to continue using it.

The meter is silver gray with a large display screen in the middle. To the right it has the up and down buttons. To the left is the test port, where the test strips are inserted. The meter measures four inches in length and only one inch in width. The 54 page owner’s manual explains how to set the date, time, etc., and also to ensure you have the correct code to match with the test strips. It guides you through these steps.

I love going to her house and reading the instruction manual even though I am not a diabetic myself but it allows me to gain more knowledge just about the one touch blood sugar meter but also allows me to gain more knowledge about diabetes itself so that when I am asked a question or need to help someone out then I can. Why not try the one touch blood sugar meter, one that will work for you and help you?

Diabetes Tracking Software

What is diabetes tracking software? Diabetes is a very serious non-communicable condition for all ages including adults. Diabetes is a very serious non-communicable condition that is currently taking over the nation and the world. Today’s sugar filled foods and desserts and the ability for diabetics to live longer lives and reproduce is only fuel to the already massive bonfire. Diabetes is a non-communicable condition where the person’s body is failing to get the required amounts of chemical called insulin. This absolutely necessary chemical/hormone called insulin is produced by the organ known as the pancreas. For some unknown medical reasons the pancreas organ will stop or slow in production of this vital chemical/hormone. This chemical/hormone is used by the body’s systems to transform the blood sugar (glucose) in the blood into fuel that the cells are able to use. Without the proper amounts of this necessary sugar converting chemical/hormone the blood glucose levels in the bloodstream begin to rise to extremely high sugar levels. Once they reach a certain high blood sugar level the body begins to suffer serious cell damage. The serious cell damage most commonly associated with high blood sugar levels is nerve serious cell damage, heart damage, kidney damage, and eye damage. But this can all be avoided if the diabetic patient can lower their high blood sugar level and keep it at that lower blood sugar level. So what is diabetes tracking software?
