Top Gadgets For Diabetics
There are now numerous gadgets on the market that can make the life of a diabetic much easier.
For those who need to take daily insulin doses, OmniPod is a godsend. All you have to do is stick this OmniPod on your abdomen, lower back, arm or anywhere that your health care provider has shown you and then forget about it. It does away with painful injections. You can do anything you want while wearing it including sleep or take a bath. It also has a glucose meter built right into the unit.
If you want to integrate your diabetes management technology with your cell phone then try out the Gluco-Phone. This is a blood glucose monitor that can be integrated with your cell phone making it the most convenient blood glucose monitor available on the market. The test result can be stored in an online electronic logbook which can be accessed by the diabetic or the caregiver and this gets rid of the need to record the data manually. You can also configure it so that it enables real time monitoring for someone not close to the patient.
Seven Plus is a wireless device that can monitor your glucose levels 24 hours a day. It shows you where your glucose reading is every five minutes and where it has been in the immediate past and where it is about to head. This gadget for diabetics is incredibly useful when it comes to preventing dreaded blood sugar crashes.
The i-port Injection Port makes the injection of insulin a lot easier, especially if you are left on your own to do it yourself several times a day. It is a small medication delivery channel through which you can inject the needle without puncturing your skin everytime. When applying the iPort a soft cannula will be inserted via a insertion needle. Once it is attached to your skin it can be worn up to 72 hours and can accommodate 75 injections at a time before it has to be removed.
If there is one thing that most diabetics are sick of it is needles. This is where the Medi-Jector Vision Needle Free Insulin Delivery System can come in handy. It uses pressure to create a micro-thin stream of insulin that penetrates the skin in a fraction of a second in a completely effective, quick and most of all absolutely painless way. It can be used with all brands of U-100 insulin in vials. The disposable, multi-use needle-free syringes are also seeing through so you can easily view the full insulin dose.
Most of these gadgets are quite expensive as is always the case with any medical device that is supposed to make our lives easier.
