Combined Wrist Blood Pressure & Blood Glucose Meter Vs Food Monitoring Blood Glucose Meter

A Combined Wrist Blood Pressure And Blood Glucose Meter is fundamentally a 2-in-1 product that eliminates the need to purchase a Blood Sugar Meter and Blood Pressure Monitor separately. It is most ideal for people with both diabetes (hyperglycemia) and high blood pressure (hypertension) for home use.

It is typically compact, light-weight, comfortable, designed for ease of use and accurate measurements. Use your wrist to take your blood pressure using the oscillometric BP method with wrist cuff technology. When testing your blood for glucose, it works almost the same like a Blood Sugar Meter except that now you place your blood sample on the same device too. Stores results for both blood glucose and blood pressure tests.

Price Range : Slightly cheaper than you get both devices separately. Around $50 - $56 per unit.

Note : This device does not measure your blood glucose using the wrist function (you need a Wrist-Watch Blood Glucose Meter for this). The wrist function is solely for blood pressure monitoring only. Blood test for this still requires traditional blood sampling and testing with a lancet device.

A Food Monitoring Blood Glucose Meter allows you to manage your blood glucose before and after each meal so that you can be aware of the effects of your food and portion choices, thus make necessary adjustment to continue to enjoy the food you like yet maintaining your body glucose level everyday.

How It Works Actually?

Add a meal flag - You can simply flag your blood glucose results as before or after meal. This will help to remind you of the impact of your food choices. Over time, the meter can also provide you with the meal averages too.

Add a comment - After each test, you can store your result and attach a simple comment to it to note why your glucose level for that test was particularly high or low eg. "Mild Exercise".

Benefits:

This meter can typically store results and show either the average of all results, the average of all before-meal results, or the average of all after-meal results. It can also show average results for 7 days, 14 days or 30 days.

It will usually include a free diabetes educational material (user manual, DVD and a booklet) to help you manage your diabetes around meals.
