Traditional handheld meters deliver fast, reliable blood sugar readings from a small fingertip blood sample, making them the go-to choice for routine daily monitoring.
CGMs use a small wearable sensor to automatically track glucose levels throughout the day and night, providing trend data and alerts without repeated fingersticks.
All-in-one kits bundle a blood glucose meter with lancets, test strips, and a carrying case so first-time users have everything they need to start monitoring immediately.
Lancet devices use a spring-loaded mechanism to painlessly pierce the fingertip for blood sampling, with adjustable depth settings to suit different skin types and comfort preferences.
