Regular blood glucose monitoring empowers individuals to effectively manage their daily blood sugar levels. Q: Is this device reliable for self-monitoring? Yes, the iHealth BG5 provides reliable self-monitoring, adhering to international standards with an acceptable error range of 10-15% (approximately ±10 mg/dL). Q: How do I verify glucometer calibration? Match the code on the test strip with the code displayed on the meter. Mismatches indicate a need for calibration. Q: How do I calibrate the glucometer? For manual calibration, enter the test strip code. For automatic calibration, insert the strip; the meter will self-calibrate. Q: Glucometer vs. lab results? Glucometers measure capillary blood glucose, while labs analyze venous blood, resulting in slightly higher lab values due to higher glucose concentrations in venous blood. Q: Blood glucose testing frequency during illness? During infections or fever, maintain your diabetic regimen. Increase testing frequency and seek immediate medical attention if experiencing severe symptoms (e.g., recurrent vomiting, difficulty eating, unstable glucose levels). Q: Monitoring frequency after dosage adjustments? Increase testing frequency after dosage adjustments, especially with new medications or insulin combinations, to prevent complications. Q: Can I reuse test strips? Always use a new test strip for each measurement. Q: Battery replacement or charging? The glucometer requires battery replacement.
