- Hello viewers,
This episode is only to bring into limelight that there are always variations between glucometers and within the same glucometers also.
I have pricked twice and used the capillary blood, just for demonstration purpose.
The ideal way of comparison would be to use venous blood drops on al glucometers simultaneously.
This episode was also intended to give a demo of how to use a glucometer.
Thank you.

@@anonymousghost7158 plz share me the link in flikort of contourplus one,iam confused which is best
@@anonymousghost7158 and how is it? what is your opinion?
There is a lot of good information in that video, thank you. The one we all expected is not buy A, B or C they are the best. But what I found really helpful is that someone says that a) the strips need to be fresh when the container has been opened (3 months is best) humidity, oxygen, and heat are bad for precision. The OneTouch select is better in counties with high temperatures and humidity as those strips are more stable, others can go for the Ultra variant which has better electronic features but different strips. The Accu-Chek Guide has the same plasma-calibrated strips as other modern Glucometers. It is easy and stable and has much fewer variants. The standards allow +/- 10% but the new good ones have half the range and are more precise. What has not been taken into account is that some Glucometers do not recalibrate for temperature, so they are fine with 20-24 degree Celsius, but not with lower or higher temperatures, as the measure has to be compensated. What I missed was the Coutour Next which shows precision in many hospitals as also the Glucocheck Gold also switched to plasma calibration. Most modern Glucometers have Bluetooth connectivity but not all have good software.
Thank you doctor for taking the time to do the comparison and explaining the meaning, this was very helpful to understand what is there in market, and what to look for (cv values) etc. Thanks for helping all of us.

I was considering buying Accu-chek but after watching your video I need to reconsider. Thanks, Doc
Same
I was confused between too many glucometers, This video helped me to decide...
Thank you 🙏
Which one should i order
Thank you so much for this video I found out I'm a potential candidate for diabetes and this video helped me decide which machine so I relay on
Thanks! What an eye opener!
Doctor Sir, your videos helped me to enlighten, because in some pharma shops, they are keeping bundles of Blood pressure device and Glucometer. Most people are be attracted to the bundle rather not thinking or to know which is good regarding the quality, quantity and accuracy. Your video helping me, and I request you to give advice about Blood pressure device also, awaiting for your reply, I had to purchase early.
Actually I am very confused😵... But now clear... Thanks doc😊
Hy
which one is good
Thanks for Your Time and Knowledge DOC 👍
If you exclude the accucheck reading which was obviously a bad reading then the average error for all of the remaining meters is only1% and the error has one standard deviation of 6.9 mg/dl. I’d say that’s pretty accurate to be honest.
Doctor Sir, Thank you for sharing such good video for educating people.
No machine is accurate, so we should also get test from lab regularly, Thanks again sir
thank you.. this is a very helpful video. especially in these times where going out to a lab is a challenge
Good demo. Now we know no brand should be blindly trusted.
Incredible!
You've done great job!
I've been using one touch for about 7 months!
I think I would stick to it!
Thanku so much for demo and👌👌👍🙏 clear our confusion
I am using Nightrider BluCon for the last 8 months, and it was never so easy to keep track of my blood glucose level. Now, I can better maintain my eating and exercising routine and move towards a healthier lifestyle.
Can u suggest me a accurate glucose meter
You are a gem Doc..
Excellent information Dr Waseem
Thanks Dr. Waseem for this wonderful effort. After going through this video, I purchased Contour Plus One device and found that I made right decision. I verified the accuracy of my device same way as you did. i.e. I went for Glucose tests in Two labs 1. Dr. Lal Pathlabs and 2. National Diagnostics (well known Lab in Ludhiana) and reading are as below:-
Dr. Lal Path Labs- 88.2
National Diagnostics - 97
Contour One Plus - 91
Contour Plus One seems pretty much accurate.
Thanks again for this effort, which helped me a lot to take a right decision.

Contour plus one is best👍😎most accurate and reliable according to ur video also😍
Excellent video doctor. I have Dr.Morepan, which is most inaccurate and there is absolutely no repeatability. I must now opt for on call or contour plus. Thanks for this clarity.

Thanks doctor for the efforts of demonstrating results of various meters in this video. I have few questions 1) what is CV in Contour plus one and Onetouch select plus simple; 2) How many times we can use lancent needle once it is used for fasting and after meal test and 3) How long will be life of strips once bottle is opened
Hello mr.mokshay,
1. CV mentioned in the booklet is not what we see in real life.
2. Ideally once , but if it's being used by the same person may be upto 10 pricks you can use. More the number of times more will be the pain.
3. Ideally within in a month but can be used upto 3 months safely. All depends on how many times it's opened and exposure to external atmosphere.
Thanks for the different variety of questions asked.
@@dr.waseemfamilymedicinedia9076 My last question, so what would you suggest if I want to buy between Onetouch select plus simple and Dr. Morepen BG03 considering lesser CV, availability of strips. I want to buy either of this two. If you can't answer directly please specify one or two pros and cons of both.
Thanks!!
@@mokshayshah881 which one have you bought finally ?
Thanks@
Thankyou dr for open my eyes
Great scientific review thanks doctor..
Thanks Doctor, You have taken extreme pains to explain us.
Thanks again.
Title says which one is best. But no recommendations. Gud video
Hello Parths.
Which is the best remains a question mark.
That's the conclusion.
This is not a marketing video to project the best one.
Unfortunately there is no ranking for glucometers like other electronic gadgets.
And one needs to customise the product selection according to their requirements. It's done on an individual basis during my Consultations.
Great doctor gud impression 🙏❤️
Dr Waseem, I am Chandrashekhar Raje, currently staying in USA. I am thrilled to see your bold demonstration on selection of Glucometer. We have 4 good quality Glucometers but every meter differs in showing results and at times we get frustrated to rely on anyone.
Now decided, next time to carry with us to at least 2 meters to Pathological Lab during testing of blood & then retest on our meters to compare the correctness. That should dispel our confusion. Hope so. Once again profound thanks for enlightening us.
Thank you mr.chandrasekhar sir. Glucometer is only a rough estimate of the actual blood sugars. Do subscribe to our channel and share useful videos with your friends and family members.
did u check
Very nice and dedicated presentation..liked very much..Thank you doctor.
Thank you mr.vishwa,
Kindly share the video with your friends and family members.
Inspite of the clear cut info there is still so many confusion in this area.
You can see the comment box how anxious people are.
I also have a series of videos on hypertension, thyroid problems, pregnancy, etc. Do watch them.
Welcome to our channel..
This is an additional info for the readers.
The glucometer has different normal values they are not all the same.. The normal values depends on the calibration of the machine. You should read and check the manual included in the product. Now if you already check and they have the same normal values then you can compare them. But if you compare them without checking the normal values of each glucometer then it is useless. In RBS the normal value of Accucheck active is 60 to 180. And in FBS is 70 to 110.
And for more info the back of the strip of Accucheck active there is circle there and it changes color depending on the result. It is another way or manual way of checking your result. It's like double check. After the glucometer read the result. Remove the strip and look at the back and compare the color in the strips back to the color printed in the strips container. It's like urinalysis strip after it was dip in the urine you will compare the color to the container.. looking for the PH, glucose in the urine, specific gravity and etc. It has two way in checking the result. Through machine and through strip. That's why I like Accucheck active. And also the last one is also nice..like it..
Regardless of the values in the machine…. The reading u get is the same
hi

Doctor, according to my experience with almost a decade. Few meters are consistently accurate.
1) Abbott Freestyle (neo h)
2) Ascensia Contour Plus One
3) Roch meters (Accu check)
4) One touch.
Bayer and Abbott is better.
Hello mr.prakash,
Thank you for that sincere opinion.
Accu check ?
Are you sure of the recent machine ?
Until 2 yrs back I was also a big fan of accuchek
@@dr.waseemfamilymedicinedia9076 Last used Accu check 2 years back. The results were consistent.
☺️ Yes. So let's talk relevant about 2020 standards.
@@dr.waseemfamilymedicinedia9076 switched to beato curv with contour plus as backup. Beato curv seems good. Very useful with the log and graph available in the app. Only thing is, it is tricky to get capillary action to draw blood with beato strips.
Oh nice
Contour Plus One is the best one . Right????
Good information! Thank you!
I am not able to decide which one is good, after seeing this video I can trust your opinion. Can you please suggest me good one to buy immediately. If possible explain how to use because we never used this before.
Great video other than the finger squeezing. I am always amazed at how many Drs or Medical Professionals will squeeze the finger to get an ample blood draw. Ample does not mean adequate. Squeezing the fingers DURING a blood draw is not a good method to produce a sample & can cause Blood Sugar Readings to be inadequate. Our blood cells are very delicate and squeezing the finger can cause hemolysis, potentially causing unwanted components inside the blood cell to be released into the blood sample, giving an inaccurate reading. Very light squeezing is acceptable to most Drs, the problem with this is that the term "light" is subjective and typically ignored by the common person performing BS readings at home. Most people's mood, schedule, and lack of circulation generally creates a greater sense of urgency in the user and thus, less awareness is on the actual pressure due to the desire the get the task done. It is better not to squeeze at all.
Many will say, it's hard just to get one drop if I don't squeeze. I have to squeeze my finger or nothing will come out. I used to think the same thing, and had the same problem, until I started focusing on hydration.
#1 Reason for poor circulation is dehydration. Hydration is not merely drinking water, that's only part of it, but proper electrolyte balance as well. #2 Reason for poor circulation is lack of movement.
Did you know that drink 8 ozs to 16 ozs of water 4 to 5 minutes before taking your blood sample will increase your blood flow? Additionally, warming the hands with warm water (not too hot, and of course do not have it uncomfortably hot or burning, but as hot as you can stand it), for about 4 minutes, (do NOT use soap), then thoroughly drying the hands, before initiating a sample will also create better blood flow. Massaging the hands and each of your fingers while warming them under the water really helps to cut down on disappointments of seeing little to no blood after lancing (initiating a blood draw). Using an adequate lancet size and pricking the finger (the least used hand, Middle Finger or Ring Finger) in an optimal place also ensures greater blood flow.
Do NOT prick the tips of fingers, too many nerve endings. Aim for the side of tip.
Whatever glucometer you choose, use the readings that you receive from that monitor as your baseline to accuracy. If you use different meters, it will be more difficult to pinpoint where you actually land because of the different ranges and & margin errors that each meter uses.
I hope this helps someone to have a better experience and more accurate results. Stay Safe and Best of Health to YOU!
Also something to add to your comment the doctor made a mistake of leaving the blood in one finger, and using that blood for multiple test, while the ambient is contaminated already, that blood will contaminated eventually.
He should have prick differents fingers for different glucometers and not using one Blood at the finger exposed in the air for many time....
Great info
I had checked my mom blood sugar on accu chek active same moment when lab test blood sample collected from my mom vein. Fasting result:Accu chek active:134, Fasting result:Lab test:121 and meal after 2 hr PP result:Accu chek active:173, Lab test:179

I am still unsure which one to buy for my dad. I reviewed the selling website and none of them talk abt the CV value on the website.
Hello mr.aniket,
Yes, there are so many factors to consider before buying one.
Just like how one looks for before purchasing any electronic gadget.
I am using One Touch Ultra Glucometer for more than 5 years, to check values for my mother. It gives far more accurate results. But the strips are on the costlier side for this brand and sometimes not easily available.
which one did you get? Im confused too.
@@KonvivialStream The One Touch UltraSmart was incomparable to any other meter on the market at the time & most likely would be to-date, if they hadn't stopped making it. The Ultra Smart 2, I don't care for as much, since it has less features than the UltraSmart had. The max date on the UltraSmart is 12/31/20, so sad. I loved that monitor! Which one do you have for your mother, the Ultra 2?
Many thanks
