Accu Check

We know that monitoring your diabetes is very important, especially to avoid the short and long term complications that can occur if you don’t have good blood glucose level control.

Let’s have a look at a new glucose meter model that has come out that makes it even more convenient for diabetics to keep an eye on their blood sugar levels.

Accu-Check Compact glucose monitor has many simple and easy to use features:

**It uses a 17 test drum that eliminates the need for strip handling. You just press a button and the strip is released from the machine automatically. Also offer easy strip removal after testing done.

**7 day average for your results with memory;

**Results usually in less than 8 seconds;

**You can perform an alternative site testing. You can test your fingertips, palm, forearm, upper arm, thigh or calf. Palm testing seems to be the easiest;

**Small sample of blood needed. Not much larger than the tip of a ballpoint pen;

**Pocket size. Small and light – about the size of a cell phone;

**May be the least painful lancet device. The lancing device – Softclix won’t tear your skin by wiggling from side to side;

**Smart data management. Can download test results to your PC with Accu-check compass software or you can use the infrared technology to beam data to your PDA with active cable. These are extra for your Accu-Check compact machine;

**Auto calibration which means the glucometer will automatically code the machine so you don’t have to code the machine manually each time you open a new bottle of glucose meter strips;

**Adjustable Accu-Check Softclix Lancet Device with an 11 depth setting. The higher the depth number, the deeper the lancet will penetrate into the skin;

**Batteries included;

**Small carrying case;

**Accu-Check Compact includes control solutions; user’s manual and also a quick reference guide in English and Spanish. Includes a diary to record blood sugar results.

But check with your doctor to see if this is suitable for you as it may be not suitable in some circumstances.

So have a look through these features to see if this meter is good for you.
