People with type 1 diabetes must regularly monitor their blood sugar levels. Most people will do it several times daily. With a free diabetic meter you simply have to prick your finger and a very tiny amount of blood is taken for the sample. You hardly feel a thing and it is all over in a few seconds.
But you must find the right diabetes meter for you.
Choosing the Right Diabetic Meter
Some of the points to consider when you are looking for a new blood glucose meter are:



- The size of the meter
- How much blood it requires as a sample
- If it has a built in memory, and how many records it can store
- If it lets you download the test results to your computer
- How much the meter costs
- If it lets you take blood from sites apart from the finger
- How much the test strips cost
- If your insurance company covers the cost of the meter and test strips
Test Strips



Something that many people forget is the cost of test strips. This is where the real expense of blood glucose testing lies and where the manufacturers reap their profits. It is an ongoing expense for you and one that you must consider. It can cost from 50c to $1 for a single strip.
