What is a Glucose Monitor?

A glucose monitor is a device that measures the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood. For people with diabetes, keeping track of blood sugar levels can help prevent complications. Regular monitoring enables individuals to make informed decisions about diet, exercise, and medication.

Types of Glucose Monitors

1. Fingerstick Monitors: Most common and user-friendly, these devices require a small blood sample from your fingertip. Results are typically available in seconds.

2. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs): These devices offer real-time tracking of blood sugar levels through a sensor placed under the skin. CGMs alert users to any fluctuations, making it easier to manage blood sugar levels throughout the day.

3. Test Strips and Lancets: Many monitors require test strips and lancets, which Bute Pharmacy provides at competitive prices.
