Glucometers are indeed an essential tool that every person with diabetes should own. It can be a life-saving device in extreme cases.
Very high or very low blood sugar levels can lead to disastrous complications. Hence, frequently checking it is essential for proper
diabetes management.
People with diabetes generally do not experience any particular symptoms until they experience hyperglycemia (when their glucose level
is too high) or hypoglycemia (when their glucose level is too low). It is in such cases that self-testing with glucometers can reduce
the risks while helping you take better charge of your diabetes.
New-age glucometers are wireless, give you real-time blood sugar level updates and can sync to your laptop or smartwatch. Syncing your
glucometer to your laptop/smartwatch is a great way to keep track of your weekly and monthly glucose trends through colourful graphs and
pictures. They give you a complete picture of your health and allow you to make suitable changes to it as and when needed.
