Good morning, I would like to ask if several people in the family can use one glucometer keypad? Of course, each time the lancets are changed and the lancing device is cleaned from the outside with octanesept. Best regards

Although theoretically changing the lancet and decontamination of the lancing device are activities that protect against the possibility of infection with pathogens through the blood, I would still encourage you to use your personal kit. Each patient who should control blood glucose should have their own glucometer and lancing device (which is included in the kit). Most of the current blood glucose meters on the market have the function of recording the result or even keeping electronic self-control diaries using the application. Measuring blood sugar levels is not only used to know the result itself, but should carry education and drawing conclusions from these results. It is worth that the patient in his glucometer has mainly his own results and learns to analyze them and see certain rules. We wrote more about this in this article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/blog/edukacja-diabetologiczna-pacjenci-pytaja-farmaceutow-o-cukrzyce and in the analysis of glucometers: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jaki-glukometr-wybrac-analiza Lancets can be purchased at a pharmacy without a prescription, also online using Where After The Drug.
