Research Notes on Best Diabetes Home Monitors


There are a variety of diabetes home monitors available on the market. The best monitor is one that best fits the needs of the user. Usually this means the monitor is quick and easy to use, is as painless as possible, and requires minimal blood samples to test blood sugar levels.1

Fast Facts:

  • Some monitors can keep records of each test, which can then be downloaded by your physician for examination of blood sugar levels during treatment.1
  • Other monitors can wirelessly connect with an insulin pump, allowing users to administer insulin when necessary without touching the pump itself.2
  • The One Touch Ultra Smart Diabetes Monitor received positive reviews as an efficient and helpful home monitor.1
  • Home monitors are generally between 10% and 15% less accurate than blood tests run by your doctor.3
