Total e-Medical Announces the Availability of New Diabetes Testing Supplies

PR Log (Press Release) – Feb 05, 2009 – TotaleMedical.com, the leading provider of diabetes products, medical supplies, and back care products, recently announced the availability of new blood glucometers and other diabetes testing supplies to help diabetics manage their condition.

Blood sugar level testers or blood glucometers are important tools for diabetes patients. They measure the amount of blood sugar in diabetics' systems, and are key elements of home blood glucose monitoring. Being able to determine the current amount of blood glucose in patients' bloodstreams can help patients and their care providers detect and correct potential health issues for the patients.

Most diabetes patients need to test their blood glucose levels at least once or twice a day. For others, testing may need to be done as often as 4 to 8 times a day. Since glucometers require less blood, they tend to be less painful than the traditional testing methods which use lancets and chemical test strips, which help diabetics become more accepting of their diabetes self-care and management program.

The Companion Talking Meter, for instance, makes it easier for elderly patients to monitor their blood sugar levels with visual and auditory feedback. The meter is able to ‘speak’ the results in either English or Spanish, and can store up to 300 results in its memory.

Diabetes is a serious health condition affecting more than 23.6 million Americans today. Total e-Medical is committed to providing diabetics with the necessary diabetes testing supplies to help manage their condition and maintain their quality of life.
