Benefits of Blood Glucose Meters
When high-quality blood glucose meters are used regularly, they can support people with diabetes in actively managing their health. Depending on the model, modern blood glucose meters from Medicalcorner24® have various data storage capacities and integrated PC interfaces for evaluating measured values over a longer period of time.
The convenient measurement process, easy handling and modern design with illuminated displays are just some of the advantages of the meters, which you can conveniently order online from our shop. At Medicalcorner24® you can buy high-quality blood glucose meters and benefit from the following additional functions:
- short measurement time
- precise measurement accuracy
- USB port
- clear and illuminated displays
- voice output (German/English)
Innovative Technology: 3-in-1 Blood Glucose Meters
For particularly easy handling, you can purchase 3-in-1 meters from the Medicalcorner24® online shop. They contain an integrated lancing device, the meter and a plug-in USB connection, and are also distinguished by hematocrit correction and a ketone warning. With a 3-in-1 meter, you get a complete blood glucose meter set in just one product.
Lancets and Lancing Devices for Easy Blood Glucose Measurement
An adjustable lancing device with a sterile lancet makes it easier for people with diabetes to draw blood independently. Even small amounts of blood are sufficient for precise blood glucose measurement. The blood glucose meter then saves the measured values. You can buy lancets and lancing devices from Medicalcorner24® individually or as part of a blood glucose meter set.

How Blood Glucose Meters Work
Blood glucose meters measure the amount of glucose in the blood. They are designed for independent use by people with diabetes. We have summarized how these smart meters work for you:
- Before measuring blood glucose, the patient must draw a small amount of blood from the fingertip and apply it to the blood glucose test strip in the meter. Blood glucose test strips are biosensors (glucose sensors) with enzymatic substrate specificity for glucose (receptor function). The meter's biochemical reaction chamber now converts glucose into another form of sugar with the help of enzymes. The enzymes transfer electrons to other molecules, which serve as a kind of electron store.
- The electron storage molecules transfer their electrons to an electrode, causing a weak current to pass through cables inside the test strip from the biochemical reaction chamber to the electrical contacts at the end of the test strip.
- Using microprocessor technology, the electrical signal is converted into a numerical value for a larger blood fraction. Very little blood is required for the measurement. The blood glucose value then appears on the display.

On an empty stomach, blood glucose levels are usually between 60 and 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg / dL). After a meal containing a lot of carbohydrates, blood glucose levels can briefly rise to values of up to 220 mg / dL, even in a healthy person. If the blood glucose level is still above 120 mg / dL twelve hours after the last meal, it is likely that you have diabetes.
Sterile and Safe Use of Blood Glucose Meter Sets
With blood glucose meter sets from Medicalcorner24® you can measure the glucose content in your blood in the comfort of your own home. To test your blood glucose, proceed as follows:
- Wash your hands: High blood glucose levels can also be caused by food residues that are still on your fingers. Sticky desserts in particular can lead to an inaccurate measurement result.
- Prepare the materials: The blood glucose meter, test strips, lancing device, lancet and swab should be ready and organized.
- Prepare the meter: The blood glucose meter must be equipped with a fresh blood glucose strip and the lancing device with a fresh lancet (blade).
- Prick the fingertip: To obtain a small amount of capillary blood from the fingertip, prick the finger with a lancing device.
- Collect the blood: Use the swab to remove the first drop of blood. This first drop is "contaminated" with tissue fragments and tissue fluid, which can distort the blood glucose measurement. Therefore, only the second drop of blood applied to the test strip is used.
- Measurement result: Read the measurement result from the blood glucose meter and carefully enter it in the blood glucose diary.
Take care when storing: Please ensure that your blood glucose meter is not exposed to direct sunlight. In addition, low batteries often cause the meter to malfunction because the batteries lose their functionality.
You must also ensure that the blood glucose test strips are stored correctly. Always keep your test strips in the original packaging with the lid closed. If moisture penetrates the packaging, it can make the test strips unusable.
