Best 5 Bluetooth Blood Glucose Meters

Today, we are going to introduce a few typical Bluetooth blood glucose meters from the perspective of a manufacturer. You may acquire more information which have never been talked about in a retail store.

What Glucose Meter Has Bluetooth?

Top 1 MOKO METECH | Fine Bluetooth Blood Glucose Meter

Of all the factors contributing to a good blood glucose meter, the precision of testing is the most important one. Properly, needle blood sampling pen of this device meets this requirements. Considering the pain resulted from finger pricking, the designer offers different pricking depth to each device for options.

Secondly, it is the most popular type in the market, so that its price is very pretty for each consumer.

Thirdly, the Bluetooth function can upload the measurement data to the health cloud database. In this way, it records the value of each blood glucose parameter, which is the reference of further analysis, evaluation, early warning and feedback.

Top 2 Contour plus ONE | Portable Bluetooth Blood Glucose Meter

Contour plus ONE features its mini size and portability. It only weighs 36g and takes 9.7×2.8×14.9cm. It is very nice to put it in the pocket for carrying it.

Top 3 Abbott | Freestyle Bluetooth Blood Glucose Meter

It comes with a small non-invasive sampling sensor, which can be worn for up to 14 days. This sensor can replace traditional sampling needles, which can automatically measure, acquire and store glucose data. The main device is used to scan the sensor to get the glucose value, which is displayed on its screen in a user-friendly way in real time.

Top 4 BRIEF | Bluetooth Blood Glucose Meter by Laser Blood Sampling

Differing to traditional needle sampling, BRIEF launches laser blood sampling design, which attached on the main device. With 2.94µm laser, this device does not damage the dermal tissue, minimizing users’ pain and fear of needles.   

Top 5 Good People | Bluetooth Blood Glucose Meter with Metabolic Thermoregulation  

Non-invasive blood glucose meters are based on thermal integration of metabolic rate. It can detect blood sugar without trauma, thus eliminating the need for disposable test strips. In this way, users are more willing to measure a few times a day to achieve real-time monitoring of blood sugar.

(The questions you may be confused about in the above recommendation.)

Can you monitor your blood sugar with your phone?^[2]

Yes. Please use the blood glucose meter with the Bluetooth module. Whether blood glucose meters are for home use or a large-scale blood glucose monitoring in a hospital, the Bluetooth connection and software will be attached much significance. Equipped with Blue module, you can share your real-time blood sugar with your family. If you do not notice a rise or drop in blood sugar due to busyness, your family member can call for reminding according to the shared real-time information. Since the same app can also be installed on your family members’ mobile phones, you can also receive corresponding online reminders from them, too.

How does a Bluetooth glucose meter work?

In tradition, most blood glucose meters use the glucose dehydrogenase electrode measurement method. In simple terms, the glucose in the blood sample reacts with the flavin adenine dinucleotide glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) on the test strip to generate an electric current. At this time, the blood glucose meter judges the blood sugar level through the sense of this current. It is currently the most accurate test solution.

After testing data is ready, they will deliver to the Bluetooth module so as to upload to Cloud base and Internet.

Is There A Device to Check Blood Sugar Without Pricking Your Finger^[4]?

Non-invasive Sampling

Yes. Bluetooth blood glucose meters with metabolic thermoregulation. The study found that the circadian rhythm of homeostasis depends on the interrelationship between metabolic heat, local oxygen supply and blood glucose concentration. Glucose and oxygen in the blood are supplied to the cells of the whole body through the blood circulation system. Glucose is eventually oxidized to water, carbon dioxide and energy. The energy is then dissipated into the surrounding environment by convection, radiation, evaporation, etc. Therefore, the heat generated by human metabolism is a function of blood sugar concentration and oxygen supply, which is positively correlated. Metabolic calorimetry is based on this principle.

The entire detection circuit of the non-invasive blood glucose meter mainly includes a temperature sensor, an infrared sensor, a humidity sensor, and an optical measurement device. The infrared sensor of the blood glucose meter measures the skin surface temperature, combined with the thermistor to measure the ambient temperature, and the heat exchanged by radiation can be obtained according to the Stefan-Boltzman law. In addition to heat accidents, humidity, blood velocity and oxygen saturation were also sensed, too. Finally, the device converts these data into blood glucose concentrations.

Invasive Sampling

Compared to non-invasive sampling, traditional needle sampling is more painful and inconvenient but very precise. First, turn the cap of the blood collection pen, and then insert it into the holder of the blood collection pen. Then, turn the cap of the syringe, and then turn the cap of the lancing device until it is fixed. It should be noted that the blood collection needle cannot be touched during the fixation process.

After installing the pen cap, pull the pen barrel back, and you will hear a click sound. Then, please turn the number on the pen cap to adjust the depth of blood collection.

When collecting blood, press the button on the pen handle to collect blood. To reduce pain, it is recommended to prick both sides of the fingers. Finally, touch the blood flow to the test strip, and the blood glucose meter will display the measured value.

What Are the 2 Types^[5] of Glucometer?

Standard blood glucose and continuous glucose monitor.  

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) measures glucose levels of subcutaneous interstitial fluid every few minutes. Correspondingly, it has to be equipped with non-invasive sensors, which are worn on people’s bodies all the time. Only in this way can continuous blood glucose detection be realized around the clock.

The standard blood glucose monitoring method is stick blood monitoring. That is, a drop of blood is pricked with a finger, and then the glucose concentration in the blood would be tested with a blood glucose test strip. The basic principle is chemical reaction discharge. Through semi-permeable membrane filtration, the glucose in the blood reacts with the glucose oxidase carried on the electrode to produce gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Then, hydrogen peroxide decomposes to generate electrons 2e-, which is related to the amount of glucose. Later, this electrical signal is transmitted to the recording element of the sensor through the Pt electrode. Finally, by restoring the relevant data, the blood sugar value in the blood can be obtained.

Do Continuous Glucose Monitors Use Bluetooth^[6]?

Yes. Most Continuous glucose monitors in the market are equipped with Bluetooth.
