Glycosimeter is a small device to measure glucose in the bloodstream. Some brands that market this device are Roche, Breeze and One touch ultra and Bayer.
How to use the meter
They are all easy to use because it contains instructions on how to use the meter and the indications of the ideal amount of glucose in the blood, as well as the values representing hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
In general, to measure blood glucose at home, the individual should drill a small hole in the finger of the hand, draw a drop of blood, place it on a tape of his own and insert the tape into the device.
After a few seconds, the glyme meter will show on your screen the amount of glucose in the blood of the individual at that very moment.
When to use the meter
The glycosimeter can be used several times a day. The amount needed will vary depending on the diet and type of diabetes that the individual has. Pre-diabetic and type II diabetic subjects can measure glucose 1 or 2 times a day. Dependent insulin users may need to use the glucose meter up to 7 times a day.
