Use Accu-Chek Go test strips to complete your toolkit for comfortable, reliable, fast-action blood glucose testing.
Blood sugar testing is a major part of diabetes control and management. You can only control the level of blood glucose (also called plasma glucose), if you track it through testing. Because blood glucose control is critical to diabetes management, devices for monitoring your blood glucose level will become an important part of your life if you get diagnosed with diabetes.
Here is why: the body cannot easily cope with high levels of sugar (out of the normal range), over a long period. Small blood vessels will be damaged, with a high potential of leading on to later-stage complications of diabetes such as damage to the kidney, eyes, nerves as well as cardiovascular diseases (heart attack, heart failure, hypertension, stroke, etc). Limiting the potentials for these devastating complications of diabetes comes through taking all possible steps to maintain a fairly stable and within-normal-range blood glucose level. That's why diabetics just have to do frequent blood glucose testing - it's that critical.
The Accu-Chek blood glucose testing package - reliable, easy-to-use blood sugar testing devices - aims to make frequent testing as easy and comfortable as possible and the results highly accurate. The Accu-Chek Go test strips for use with the Accu-Chek Go System, offer just that. They are touchable test strips with capillary action for testing glucose in whole blood. Here's why this should warm your heart:
