Does this meter measure the glucose in whole blood or plasma?

You need blood strips just like any other blood monitor. You pick your finger add blood to the strip you have put into the monitor. Same an any thohter meter.

Hello, Thank you fot the message. We asked this from the manufacturer and they told us the item might be work for measuring residual sugar. But there is no example before, Hope it works, Thanks

I am unaware of that. I believe this only measures the oxygen in your blood levels. Not what is flowing to the brain. Sorry but I am not aware of the correct answer, but I don't believe so.

Not sure what information you are trying to get. Yes, these are TRUETrack daily self-testing strips for home monitoring by a person with diabetes. They do provide quick, but not "instant" readout. It takes about 10 seconds on a TRUETrack machine. Is there a further piece of information you are confused on?

Yes you can. You can also scroll back and see the history of readings. You can tell it whether the reading was before a meal or after. The only reason to plug it into the computer is the software which allows you to easily track trends, tell which times of day are problematic. Which helps focus on improving overall blood sugar control.

No, all meters require blood. What they mean is you can stick your forearm instead but its less accurate that way. Hope this helps.

It's just a small needle prick of a finger. I have no soreness afterwards. You can adjust the lancet to the desired depth when it does the puncture. The meter is easy to use and has your reading in about 5 seconds. You do need to purchase the Bayer test strips and lancet needles, but they are very reasonably priced on Amazon. They are VERY expensive if you go to the regular drug store. The meter will keep an internal record of your glucose levels, but I keep a spreadsheet so I can keep track and my doctor really likes that. Good luck.

yes it gives pulse measurement. it also has memory so you can store readings. it has great instructions!

It works with the accu-check device on given below link http://www.amazon.com/ACCU-CHEK-Aviva-Blood-Glucose-Meter/dp/B001A67WH2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1366924497&sr=8-2&keywords=accu-chek+aviva

the bottle reads "for blood glucose testing with one touch ultra family of meters"

It doesn't matter where you get the drop of blood from. That's completely up to you. Once you have the drop you just touch the end of the strip into the blood drop. The device counts down then gives you the reading. I'm doing ketone and glucose twice a day and it works great. Just insert the strip (glucose or ketone) in the device (same device does glucose and ketone) then get the blood drop then touch the strip to the drop, wait a few seconds until the countdown stops and gives your reading, then pull that strip out (if you're measuring both glucose and ketones like me) stick the other strip in and touch it to the same blood drop and get the measurement of the other substance. When you insert the strip make sure the unit acknowledges it (it says ketone or glucose depend on which strip you put in the unit). It acknowledges 95% of the time. If it doesn't pull it out and reinsert and it has always acknowledged the second time. I haven't lost a single strip using this method and I've been through way more than a hundred of glucose and ketone strip.

No it won't. It requires a smaller amount of blood than others. It has a little "drop" icon that showes until there is enough blood in the stick then it showes dashes until the testing is complete then it displays the result. I had mine tested at my doctors office and it resulted very close to their monitor. They said closer even than most others they have tested. Hope this helps. :)

No. It measures only Glucose. I switched to Bayer's Contour. It has more capability for your nursing staff to download information, etc.

The code chip contains the precise calibration for the machine to the strip test vial for an accurate glucose level on blood. However, you might take other vial with other chip and have results within a range but not accurate. Specially when the readings are near the low or high levels.

The readings are accurate. Older glucose monitors measure blood sugar in whole blood, whereas the TRUEResult meter with its TRUETest strips report the blood sugar as a plasma (not whole blood) value. Blood sugars reported by your doctor's lab, or a hospital lab, are also reported as plasma glucose values, so the results on this meter and its strips will more precisely match your doctor's reports and values. Plasma glucose is typically 10-12% higher than glucose levels reported from whole blood-based testing meters. You can always obtain "control solutions" with known glucose levels to check and ensure accuracy. I hope this information is helpful. The readings are accurate.

If it does it will be very few of them, I don't remember. Some of the testers come with 10 at most. Your most expensive part of testing blood sugar is the strips. These strips are some of the least expensive, but it is accurate in my opinion. hope this helps

Not that I have seen on the meter itself. The test strips used in the meter do.
