What are the primary diabetic supplies for patients?

While some diabetic supplies are optional depending on your diabetes type, some are necessary to have for most diabetic patients for a proper and effective blood glucose management. These necessities include (ADA):

Diabetic Monitor: The best way to accurately check your blood glucose level is to use a blood glucose monitor. With today’s advanced technology, diabetic monitors provide precise and accurate readings that are crucial for patients to keep a record of. By using a diabetic monitor, patients can analyze which food or medication intake can affect their blood glucose levels.

Insulin: Insulin resistance is often the main underlying cause for diabetes, which occurs when insulin is not produced and used properly. Type 1 diabetic patients need regular insulin rejection to prevent hyperglycemia, while type 2 diabetic patients need dietary supplements to regulate their insulin.

Blood glucose test strips: Most diabetic monitors require blood glucose test strips to measure blood glucose levels. Unless the patient is using an alternative blood glucose management method, patients should have blood glucose test strips on-hand so that they can measure their glucose levels under any circumstance.

Glucose tablets: Having diabetes doesn’t always mean having a high blood glucose level. Patients can experience low blood glucose levels that require glucose tablets that can be taken orally if the patient’s glucose level is 10 mg/dl or more below target.
