Advance Diabetes Care: The Strip-Free Testing Device

A strip-free glucose meter device is a good for diabetes care as it solves some testing issues among diabetes patients; such as waste disposal and convenience. For diabetics, testing device system such as the blood glucose meter is an essential equipment to monitor their blood sugar levels; and how well have they managed the disease.

The new technology of strip-free testing device gives way to a new era in diabetes care. The blood glucose meter might be fairly small, but it informs the diabetic of his sugar level, thus helping him manage his diabetes or make up his mind about the right medication, practice and application for him.

Blood glucose meters usually need test strip that it uses only once. The test strip is thrown away after use so the patient needs a lot of strips for his blood glucose meter.

Blood glucose self-monitoring is not easy for everyone to adopt. Patients do testing which frequency is less than what is recommended of them because they may lack time, find it complicated to handle test strips, or they merely wish to be discreet. They may like this new strip-free testing device and will improve their self diabetes care.

The patients who fail to glucose test in line with the guidelines of management goals and healthcare professionals are increasing their risk of complications and hypoglycaemia.

Recently however, a new technology has been introduced, the strip-free technology which is indeed a breakthrough as it breaks down the barriers of glucose testing.

The new strip-free meter fits high-frequency users whose lifestyles are super busy. It uses a distinctive cassette concept and a continuous tape which is good for 50 tests and a sole drum having six lancets. Both the continuous tape and lancets are approved wastes of the household. The strip-free device is a big improvement in diabetes care and simplification of the testing process for patients. This eliminates the need for single lancets, single test strips and sharp bins for patients.

Brett Lewis, Diabetes Care Director at Roche said that the revolutionary cassette-based system paves new standards in blood sugar testing, eliminating worries over issues like disposal of wastes. The new test device has a comprehensive feature with a five-second test time, with only 0.3µl volume of blood needed and strip-free. It is indeed a clear step advance in diabetes care.

The strip-free glucose testing device has 500 test memory plu 7, 14, 30 day averages; requires no coding, has data which is downloadable to Excel and an approximately five seconds measuring time.
