Glucose meter
A glucose meter is a portable device used by people with diabetes to measure their blood sugar levels. It works by pricking the skin to obtain a small blood sample, which is then placed on a test strip inserted into the meter. The device quickly analyzes the sample and displays the blood glucose concentration, helping individuals manage their condition effectively. This simple, rapid process provides essential information to make informed decisions about diet, activity, and medication, supporting better blood sugar control and overall health.
