TEST AND MEDICATE

Diabetic testing supplies include test strips and lancets which are used to collect a drop of blood and test it for blood sugar levels. Diabetic testing supplies are very important for a diabetic to have because being able to keep your blood sugar within the prescribed levels is the key to the management of the disease.

Usually, diabetic testing supplies can be bought as a complete kit, with everything you need inside it. If you are buying a kit, this usually includes the machine that reads the strip and measures the amount of blood sugar that you have. From the blood sugar value that you have, you can then compare this with the normal limits for you and check if your levels are too high or too low and then make the necessary adjustments to keep your blood sugar at a healthy level.

KITS AND SYRINGES

With a blood sugar testing kit, you have to buy lancets and strips from time to time. These items are disposable and cannot be reused. You cannot run the risk of not testing your blood sugar levels if you are diabetic as slight variances in value can cause dizziness and other health hazards. Just remember that when you are buying diabetes testing supplies such as strips, keep in mind that you have to buy one that can be read by the blood sugar reader that you use at home.

Other types of diabetic supplies, aside from diabetes testing supplies, are the ones used to take in insulin and other medications. Diabetic syringes are used for the administration of insulin. Usually, the insulin is directly injected intramuscularly, using the diabetic syringes which are disposed of after use.

Diabetic syringes come in different sizes, depending on the prescribed amount of insulin that you need every injection.
