The intensity of the colour is identified by the meter and is then calculated into a corresponding blood glucose value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biosensors:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe main difference between sensors and colour based test strips is that the glucose reaction is linked with a biochemical reaction which leads to an electric signal. This current can be measured and corresponds with an exact blood glucose value.<\/p>\n<p>Meters from former generations have to be coded by inserting a chip or by entering a special combination of numbers when opening a new vial of test strips. Most of the recent meters are now based on the new No Code technology.<\/p>\n<p>The glucose range that can be measured is between 20 and 600 mg\/dl (1.1 \u2013 33.3 mmol\/l).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Calibration<\/strong><br \/>\nBlood glucose meters can be calibrated on whole blood or plasma (please refer to the Instructions for Use of your meter). The absolute majority of meters today available are plasma referenced.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: Plasma referenced meters show 10 \u2013 15% higher values! Do not use measuring instruments from different manufacturers at the same time, as the readings may differ significantly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c3751\" class=\"frame frame-default frame-type-textpic frame-background-none frame-no-backgroundimage frame-space-before-none frame-space-after-none\">\n<div class=\"frame-container\">\n<div class=\"frame-inner\">\n<header>\n<h4 class=\"element-header \">Blood Sampling<\/h4>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"text-justify\">People with diabetes use the lateral sides of the fingertips to get a blood sample. Blood circulation is fine there and it is easy to get enough blood. Avoid the middle part of the fingertips as pricking there is very painful due to the high density of sensitive receptors.<\/p>\n<p>One should consider the following topics to reduce problems with finger pricking:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-normal\">\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Hands should be thoroughly washed with warm water and soap and then dried. Beside the cleaning effect blood circulation is improved. Disinfection is not needed \u2013 alcohol residues could lead to wrong result.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">The lateral sides of the fingertips should be punctured to avoid pain \u2013 in the middle part of the fingertips are more sensitive receptors. Avoid to puncture the nail bed which could lead to inflammations.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Replace the\u00a0lancet\u00a0every time after using it once \u2013 the needle will lose its sharp cut tip or could be bent. This will lead to more pain and will damage the skin. The danger of infections and inflammations through bacteria or viruses is increased.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Use\u00a0thin lancets (there are lancets available with a diameter of only 0.2mm) to reduce the pain when puncturing. As the size of the blood sample is depending on the depth of the puncture and not from the diameter of the lancet a blood drop of sufficient size is produced. Modern blood glucose meters only need minimal blood samples.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Use different fingers for pricking \u2013 some people do not like to use the small finger or the thumb for getting a blood sample.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">If possible use fingers of both hands to get a blood sample.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Try to find your optimal depth for puncture: maybe you do not have to prick very deep to get an appropriate blood sample. You can also press gently the arm or finger towards the end, shake the arm or let it hang down to improve process of blood sampling. Avoid pressing the finger to produce a blood drop.<\/li>\n<li class=\"text-justify\">Press lancing device tightly to the lateral side of the fingertip and then release the button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row \">\n<div class=\"col-md-8 \">\n<div id=\"c3753\" class=\"frame frame-default frame-type-textpic frame-background-none frame-no-backgroundimage frame-space-before-none frame-space-after-none\">\n<div class=\"frame-container\">\n<div class=\"frame-inner\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify\"><strong>Blood Sampling<\/strong><br \/>\nPeople with diabetes use the lateral sides of the fingertips to get a blood sample.
