Diabetes mellitus - a common ailment With 415 million sufferers worldwide, diabetes mellitus is one of the most common, chronic complaints in the world. In South Africa more than 3,5 million people are diagnosed with Diabetes and many more who are undiagnosed. While the causes of diabetes type 1 remain largely unexplored, there are specific reasons for type 2 diabetes, also known as adult-onset diabetes or the "disease of affluence": being overweight, eating unhealthily or excessively or a lack of exercise. Beurer blood glucose monitors support you with optimum monitoring.
The easy-to-use blood glucose monitor GL 44 is not only easy to handle, but with the integrated backlighting, an XL display and the illuminated insertion slot, it is even more convenient and clearer to operate. The choice of three colour versions in black, white and purple is particularly appealing.
The GL44 blood glucose monitor is intended for fast and simple blood glucose measurement of fresh capillary blood samples, either for self-testing or in a clinical environment by trained personnel. It enables quick and easy blood glucose measurement, measured values to be stored and the average of all measured values to be displayed to ideally assist you in monitoring diabetes. The test is performed exclusively externally (IVD). The large backlit display shows measured values clearly. The user-friendly design with handy test strips and a reduction in the controls to a few buttons guarantee simple, yet reliable measurements. The device can be connected directly to a PC using the USB cable provided. You can evaluate the measured values on your PC using blood glucose diary software and use the results to monitor your blood glucose values.
