OneTouch Verio Sync Glucose Monitor
Diabetics must keep a constant vigil on the glucose, and that means pricking a finger and getting the glucose level multiple times a day. In addition to the time and effort required to do this, all tests must be logged into a journal.
The journal allows tracking the glucose level over time to spot trends that can be used to help better keep the level in the normal range. The log also can be shared with healthcare providers.
OneTouch is a trusted brand producing gear for diabetes control. These include the OneTouch Verio Sync glucose monitor. On the surface the Verio Sync is like other test monitors. You prick a finger to get a drop of blood and let the test strip slurp it up. The glucose level is tested in a few seconds and the resultant level appears on the screen to be logged.
It's the last step that automates the process. The Verio Sync sends the test result to the iPhone and logs it into the OneTouch Reveal app.
Get the OneTouch Verio Sync from OneTouch for $29.99.
