Thirty Three Years of Advancement in Diabetes Tech - Part 2

Monitoring my brother’s blood glucose levels in the early 1980s meant having him pee into a small plastic container and putting a test strip in the urine for a minute. This monitoring was not incredibly accurate, giving only a range of glucose levels in the urine (not the blood). To obtain an accurate blood sugar reading, diabetics were required to visit the hospital for substantial blood work.

Think about that!  Today, blood glucose monitors are now commonplace, increasingly accurate and require less and less blood sample. The advent of these machines has resulted in better diabetes management and fewer trips to the hospital blood lab.

In addition to these self-monitoring machines, today several continuous glucose monitoring  systems are available on the market.

Spot on with this write-up, I really feel this web page needs a lot more consideration. I'll in all probability be once again to read far more, thanks for that info.
