Blood glucose meter for people with diabetes

Children account for 10-15% of all diabetes patients, mainly type 1, insulin dependent. In patients with type 1 diabetes, the pancreas is unable to produce insulin, so it must be taken from outside. When diagnosed with this disease, the child must receive insulin for life, 2-3 times a day to maintain an ideal blood glucose level.

"If blood sugar is not well controlled, children with diabetes will experience many complications, the most common being kidney failure and blindness" - Dr. Nguyen Thi Hoan, Head of Endocrinology - Genetic - Metabolism of Children's Hospital Central, said. Even if you feel normal, your child may still be in dangerous blood sugar. Therefore, according to Ms. Hoan, families with children with this disease must measure blood sugar regularly.

In many children, because the body has adapted to the increase or decrease in blood sugar, it may not show symptoms when this change occurs . Therefore, parents do not know to adjust the treatment and eating regimen, while the body organs are being destroyed. High or low blood sugar all adversely affect the development of the brain, if too high, it will cause complications, causing children to lose weight, grow slowly, even die; If it is too low, it will weaken, sweat, lethargy and also lead to death. Studies show that if the body lives in dangerous blood sugar, the risk of eye complications is more than 60%, kidney complications are 20-30%.

"Therefore, parents of diabetic children need to know the concept of safe blood sugar to protect their children," Dr. Hoan said. Blood sugar is considered safe at 4-7 mmol / l when fasting, 5-11 mmol / l after 1-2 hours after eating. Blood sugar levels are very likely to fluctuate with the diet, movement and psychology of children, so they should be monitored regularly. Because it is not possible to go to medical facilities too many times, it is best for parents to have a personal blood glucose meter used at home.

According to Dr. Hoan, about 1.7 million VND for a machine is a significant amount for many families, but this is an investment needed because once complications occur, treatment will not be able to help. In return, complications will progressively get worse and treatment costs will be extremely large.
