i am using gsm3 an indian made glucometer costing around rs 600 and 50 strips cost the same. it is made in banglore and available on any internet shop. the results are accurate

Mr.Yesh,How can u say gsm3- Glucometer is Accurate.Have u checked when u go for Lab Bood Test, Putting a drop then on ur Glucometer and Compare those Readings with Lab Readings.?. Have u checked similarly many times?As all believe that Glucometers give 10-20% Variation,Pl crosscheck ur Statement.

I think Glukometer is not correct. It always gives variation. Best is to go for Lab test or hba1c every three months. hbaic gives you the average blood sugar and on that basis medicine may be taken as advised by Doctor.

Glucometer reading :My doctor Dr.Sundari Srikant of Fortis escort Faridabad say 15% of reading vary.Last Month before going for medical advise I measured 97 fasting simultaneously I went interavenous from SRL the result of fasting was 121.I dobted when I show the result my doctor wrote 97 on the prescription.For kind information of Grneral public never go again for blood sample check in the same centre except FORTIS ESCORT,APPOLO,AIMS because in other test centre they srepeat from data base.I t is better change ur name every time.Blood test may be after 3 month.I nstead going blood always go urine sugar test.
