GLUCOMETER IS USED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE
DIABETES TO.
• Control the taxes of glucose.
70mg/dL hypoglycemia
180mg/dL hyperglycemia
• Recognize when they need to use INSULINE.

• Reduction the rates of diabetics
emergency.
• Lower expenses on hospitals care.
NEGATIVE SIDE
• Price
In Brief
Over the years the glucometer has helped people
to live more time controlling the rate of glucose in
the blood.
