The number of people having diabetes is higher than ever before and it is likely to increase further. With obesity at an all time high and poor lifestyle and dietary choices, diabetes is going to become an even more serious health concern. As attempts are made on a war footing to educate people about diabetes and to help people take better care of their health, there are some medical devices or diagnostic tools that are making life simpler and more informed.
Diabetics or those who have a high blood glucose level need to be updated about their health, not once in a month but every day. It is necessary to monitor the blood glucose levels on a regular basis. Now, obviously a person cannot see a doctor every day. That is where concept medical devices or portable diagnostic tools come in. Gluco (M) is one such device that is aimed at measuring your blood glucose levels.
Gluco (M) is a wristband. It isn’t the first of its kind tool to measure blood glucose but it is certainly among the more desirable ones. The typical tools used to measure blood glucose require you to pinch your skin with a small needle and the incision allows a tiny drop of blood to fall on the glucose strip in the tool which then measures the blood glucose levels and gives you a digital reading. There are some tools which use this method to great effect and provide accurate readings. But the devices are not very friendly. No one likes to get pinched every time to get a reading of their glucose levels in the blood. Also, the sight of blood can be troubling for many.
The wristband, ala Gluco (M), doesn’t require any blood or any invasive pinching or incision. It uses electric current and bodily fluids that are usually secreted through the day to measure blood glucose. A great advantage of this wristband is that you can measure your blood glucose as many times as you want since you don’t have to let out a drop of blood and you can wear your wristband throughout the day.
Another great advantage of this wristband is that it carries an insulin chamber which can load syringes and cartridges. In effect, you can get an insulin shot should you need one. Not only would getting the shot be very convenient and discreet but your insulin injections will also be stored in a safe place, free from all microbes, dirt and pollutants.
