There are currently over 2.3 million people with diabetes in the UK and there are up to another 750,000 people who have the condition and don’t know it. Diabetes occurs because the body cannot use glucose properly, either because of a lack of the hormone insulin, or because the insulin available doesn’t work effectively.
Finding out you need to regularly test your blood sugar levels can be overwhelming. The Medisana MediTouch measuring device was designed to make measuring your blood glucose levels easy and discrete. The Medisana MediTouch has a number of incredible features. It can electronically store up to 360 test results, allowing you to recall them at any time. It also has the ability to average your measurements over a specified period of time, allowing you to determine your average regular measurement at a given time of the day.
Meditouch is widely available from BOOTS and other UK retailers, testing strips are also widely available from retailers, but they can also be purchased online at www.meditouch.co.uk or phone 0844 888 2032.
