For older patients who require close monitoring in a home setting, Duo-Cares wristband glucose and blood pressure monitor may be exactly what the doctor ordered.Features

Vital sign monitors run into the thousands of dollars but this wristbands advantage is its small form factor (meaning it can follow the patient anywhere) and relatively non-evasive fit factor. Although it doesn’t rack many other vital signs, most diabetics also suffer from secondary conditions which this will monitor. Additional features include:

• incorporates Fast Tracking Temperature (FTT) technology for accurate blood glucose readings even when the device and blood are two different temperatures
• step deflation on the cuff for blood pressure monitoring within 30 seconds
• advanced oscillometric algorithm (AOA) technology
• requires only a small blood sample (0.5ul) and gives readings in 5 seconds
• one button monitoring of various vital signs
• wristband monitor stores results and allows for easy data transfer to computer for clinical evaluations over time
• uses enzyme based test strips for accurate readings

The Bottom Line

There has never been a better time to be or become a diabetic, but don’t forget a healthy lifestyle incorporating physical activity (including weight training), proper diet and regular monitoring will go a long way towards reducing the likelihood of serious complications.
