Question
Which brand of home blood glucose monitor is good, and what price range should I consider?
Answer
The patient asks for recommendations on the brand and budget range for a home blood glucose monitor. Given their pre-meal blood sugar level of 14.5 and the diagnosis of diabetes, it is advised to seek regular medical treatment and adjust medication according to medical instructions. A home blood glucose monitor is very important for diabetes patients, and it is recommended to monitor blood sugar levels before and after meals and before bedtime. If necessary, blood sugar levels should also be measured at 1 AM or 3 AM. In terms of home blood glucose monitor brands, the domestic Sanuo brand is a good choice. It is not only relatively cheaper than other imported brands but also accurate in measurement. In the past, a set could be purchased for about 200 yuan at pharmacies, but on e-commerce platforms like JD.com, prices may be more favorable. It is recommended that patients consider this option.
