Blood sugar testing becomes easier and convenient with various diabetes testing products available in the market. Moreover, you get the results in less than a minute.
Diabetes Testing Supplies: Options
To manage or detect diabetes, you require diabetes testing supplies, such as diabetic glucose test strips, blood glucose monitors and urinalysis test strips.

• Diabetic or glucose test strips: These testing products are placed inside a glucose meter to determine the sugar levels in a particular blood sample. You can prick the surface of your finger using a lancet to get a drop of blood. Most lancets allow you to set a particular depth at which the needle penetrates your skin. This depth setup feature prevents damage to important nerves.

• Blood glucose monitors: Different types of glucose monitors are available, including those with self-enclosed spools of strips called test strip drums and those that require manual insertion of strips. The elderly and children, who have reduced motor skills, can use self-enclosed ones, because these are loaded automatically and do not require user intervention. You should follow the instructions carefully if your monitor requires entering a code whenever you open a new box of strips. You will find the code chip in the strip bottle. If you enter the wrong code or if your monitor is miscoded, you get wrong results. If you are not comfortable with entering the codes, you can opt for monitors that load automatically.

• Embrace meter: The latest diabetes supplies range is able to provide the most accurate results within six seconds. It can also display an average of your blood glucose levels over a period of time, such as a week, a couple of weeks or a month.

Diabetes Testing Supplies: Insurance CoverageMedicare covers test strips, blood sugar monitors and lancets for people enrolled for Medicare Part B. However, there are limits to the amount of supplies one can use. Medicaid covers blood sugar test strips and blood glucose monitors. Medicaid also covers insulin syringes if you need them. Most managed health insurance plans also cover diabetes supplies.
To purchase diabetes supplies at reduced prices, you can opt for generic test strips or strips sold by third parties. However, ensure that the test strips you buy are compatible with your glucose monitor. Suppliers may also offer glucose monitors free of cost when customers shop for other diabetes supplies.
