SKIPPING EXERCISE
You want fast and accurate results every time you test your blood sugar levels. You never want to decide to skip an exercise session because of a faulty reading on your glucose monitor. You also never want to be unable to read the results. The inaccuracies won’t be doing you a bit of good and can actually give you a false sense of security. This won’t happen if you use the Ascensia Elite as it has a screen, which is easy to read, and it is very accurate. Your medications and therapies prescribed by your physician are based off this number, and it can be the ultimate devil if you are obtaining incorrect information. You can choose which units you will ultimately use, but the defining decision maker should simply be that you always check you sugar and never make excuses to not take it due to being uncomfortable or a bother. This is why I recommend the Ascensia Elite. It has two different kinds of testing strips, which fit into the unit. Most others only have one type to use. Those strips can be hard to manage due to the care, which must be in place when handling the strips to prevent cross contamination. The two different strips, which you can use on this unit, are called the Microfill and Autodisk. The Microfill strips are easier to handle and will resist being cross contaminated, while the Autodisk active testing strips are designed to sip your blood in very small amounts to gain an accurate reading. The choice is totally up to you to decide which would work better for you. These products are some of the best in the current market for diabetic supplies due to the reduction in pain from these testing strips.
