Question: My son is 12 years. With years of type 1 diabetes. We try to keep sugar normal. But fingers are constantly stabbed repeatedly. I'd love to buy a bloodless analyzer for determining the level of sugar in the blood in the form of a wristwatch. Do you have information about where it can be purchased and how much it will cost.
Answer: In Russia and most European countries, this device is not for sale. Some patients are brought from the U.S. experience in application and experiences (not to say that it is very bright) are described in http://diabet-news. ru/exp/00/04. shtm – look. . . P. S. Ask your endocrinologist to teach you how to make sure that your fingers have not been stabbed repeatedly (in general, if you were fully trained in the School of diabetes, "it said): – Do not wipe the skin with alcohol-use turn all 10 digits (including the big and little finger) — Do not puncture on the top of the finger, and closer to the lateral surface (there are fewer nerve endings, more vessels, faster healing, etc.). – Use a device to puncture (avtolantset) with adjustable depth of puncture, to make the depth of the minimum – just to get a sufficient drop of blood. – Miscellaneous glucometer require different-sized drop of blood.
FAQ
Question: Is there glucometers without test strip
Answer: Practically no. In the United States is Glucowatch device in the form of a bracelet, which measures the blood sugar "percutaneously. But the analysis is still a chemical, so that the device required consumables (toner cartridge inserted into it with a "reagent"). But this device is not very reliably determines the level of sugar, so the registration was not in all countries.
FAQ
Question: Can you please tell, what are the instruments of electronic self-monitoring of blood sugar such as a bracelet on her arm. Advise any of them for home use.
Answer: Several years ago, a device for measuring blood glucose in the form of a bracelet Glucowatch (Glyukovotch). A similar device Pendragon, but based on a somewhat different principle, is released and the Swiss firm Pendra. <p> Unfortunately, these devices are not sold in Russia (and even no formal permission for the use of the Health Ministry here). They are registered (ie, allowed) is not in all countries, but only in the U.S. and the UK (and Pendragon – in Switzerland and the surroundings). In all cases, these devices are not sold in pharmacies, as ordered by the attending physician, who "prescribe" a specific device to the patient. <p> True, in Russia there are first owners of these devices, kotoryedostayut them one way or another. Information about these devices we had in the "New World" After initial enthusiasm abroad has come to understand that the device is not very accurate, and therefore can not completely replace traditional blood glucose meter. Therefore, the device is not registered in all countries. <p> must also take into account that the device costs about $600 and supplies to him – about $5 a day. By <p> at http://diabet-news. ru/exp/00/04. shtm sufficient detail experience with the device.

Answer: This blood glucose meter is working accurately, subject to the rules of blood collection. The drop should be large enough to cover the test field "hemisphere." If you drop a little (and even more so – not all the Test field covered) – the result of measurement of sugar understated.

Question: Sick with diabetes for about 4 years, to measure the level of sugar in the blood of the visual test strips, whether to acquire, for simplicity and accuracy of personal self-test blood glucose meter. Part of "fellow human disease" discouraging, and the other half suggests. So is it worth taking, if so what kind of device is optimal? THANK YOU
Answer: There were many studies that have shown that pridostatochnom experience results from self-stripes well obuchennyhpatsientov no worse than using a glucometer. Glucometer gives both bytochnost to ten, but to some extent illusory, but in some – nikakne affects the calculation of the dose of insulin. Therefore, the question rests on convenience and price. Strips for blood glucose meters more expensive ihnelzya cut. But glucometer, of course, more convenient (easier to analyze naulitse in the cafe), the measurement faster, no need to note the time and, of course, etobolee modern way (both car and bicycle, with all the advantages iminusami everyone:)
FAQ
Question: I have for you a huge request. My good friend in trouble, his wife, diabetic patients and their son, bought a device to control blood sugar levels, but the difficulty arises from the fact that the unit of measurement on the device are: mg / dL, and the need to mmol / liter. Perhaps you know the conversion formula from one dimension to another, because the transfer to the device I have found.
Answer: In order to get the value of blood glucose in mmol / l, blood glucose should be value in mg / dL divided by 18. For example, blood glucose 180 mg / dL. To get a result in mmol / l, 180 mg / dL divide by 18, we obtain 10 mmol / liter. (180/18 = 10).

Question: Thank you my otveteli. What kind of schooling can be considered a full-fledged diabetes? What can you advise me? Maybe some safer sex and avoiding
Answer: 1. As for "full education": with the SD type 1, it should be at least 20-25 hours of training, the group should not be greater than 8.10 patients, it should not include patients with type 2 diabetes, the physician must not only talk, but teaching practice (including, disassemble diaries of self-control, learn to adjust the dose based on self-monitoring of each patient). Typically, such training is conducted in a hospital. 2. With regard to what products are needed – so I can say this, specify a link to your previous questions (Ask again), because I do not remember where in your previous question, and what he was: (

Answer: Insulin is produced in two standard concentrations: 40 units per ml (U-40) and 100 units per ml (U-100). For each type of insulin produced its own type of syringes. Your syringe can work with both types of insulin: If you have insulin U-100, use of the scale, where editsiny from 0 to 100. If would have been U-40, you would enjoy the second scale.
