title: iCare advanced blood  glucose monitoring system.
abstract: Health professionals working in the field of diabetes have a wide choice of blood glucose meters to offer patients, with different meters offering different options for monitoring and recording blood glucose results. Self-monitoring of blood glucose levels can be helpful to people with diabetes in helping to maintain day-to-day control, adjusting insulin doses, detecting hypoglycaemia, assessing control during intercurrent illness and helping to provide information that can be used in the prevention of long-term complications. The newly released iCare Advanced Blood Glucose monitoring System is an easy-to-teach and use blood glucose meter using the latest technology to provide people with diabetes with easy and comfortable testing, producing accurate blood glucose test results in just 6 seconds using a small blood sample of only 0.7ul. In the current NHS climate, the iCare Advanced blood Glucose meter offers patients and health professionals the latest technology alongside cost savings by providing a test strip that is low cost but does not compromise on quality.
